Story Behind The Song
The inspiration behind the song stems from a challenging and toxic past relationship that I am grateful to have left behind. The lyrics and melody were born out of the emotions and experiences I went through during that difficult time. The song serves as a cathartic expression of the lessons learned and the strength gained from overcoming that toxic relationship. It encapsulates the journey of moving on, finding closure, and ultimately emerging stronger and wiser. Through the song, I aim to share my story and connect with others who may have faced similar challenges, offering them a sense of understanding and resilience through the power of music.

Lyrics
I am more than
More than an afterthought
A convenience
A convenience to your wants
You only want me
Only when you think I'm done
I am more than
More than just an afterthought
Do you care how I feel
Is this even love
Is there even us
I'm trying to talk to ya
Can't you see that your treating me like I'm just an Option
You told me I was the one
Now your different
You make me
Me wonder
Do you even want me here
I am more than
More than an afterthought
A convenience
A convenience to your wants
You only want me
Only when you think I'm done
I am more than
More than just an afterthought
You're constantly
Ignoring me
You need to pay attention
Cause' I'm about to be done
Not holding on to ya
I should be in the streets without feeling guilty
But deep down I can't because that's not me
You make me
Me wonder
Do you even want me here
I am more than
More than an afterthought
A convenience
A convenience to your wants
You only want me
Only when you think I'm done
I am more than
More than just an afterthought
