And another almost - there, it's finished - I wish it was different this time though

I keep mistaking attention for somebody who'll stay

You tell me I'm everything, then take it back the next day

You love my pale white skin, my long dark hair

The way my dark brown eyes stop you and leave you staring there

You tell me I'm beautiful, different and rare, but loving what you see ain't the same as being there

Maybe I'm easy to want and harder to keep

Maybe you love what you see, till you see underneath

I'm everybody's favorite almost, the one they want but don't hold close

The one they miss but still let go, the one they touch but never know

I'm everything until I'm not, the one they swear they never forgot

You call me perfect then you're gone - I'm everybody's favorite, almost

Another almost forever, another maybe someday, another person who needs me until they're okay

I learn all of your secrets, memorize every scar

You swear nobody gets you - then forget who you are

I give you somewhere safe when you're falling apart You give me all your damage, then leave with my heart

Maybe I'm easy to need when you're falling apart

Maybe you love being loved more than you love my heart

I'm everybody's favorite almost, the one they want but don't hold close

The one they miss but still let go, the one they touch but never know

I'm everything until I'm not, the one they swear they never forgot

You call me perfect then you're gone - I'm everybody's favorite, almost

I'm tired of being unforgettable to people who forget to stay

Don't tell me that I'm incredible while you're walking away
