Afterthoughts

I can only stay for a while
I think I'm hurting myself
As much as leaving pains me
Staying hurts like hell
I can only talk a little longer
Though I don't have to be somewhere else
The truth is my heart stops when I am driving away
And I know you're talking to somebody else

But it's the afterthoughts that keep me here instead
Oh, it's the afterthoughts that keep me here instead

I can barely breathe when I think about it
Feels like I'm under the sea
Floating and floating in circles
Until I can barely see
I know I should go

But it's the afterthoughts that keep me here instead
Oh, it's the afterthoughts that keep me here instead
