the one they forget

Tell me something Do you still know me As the stain in your stories? Sorry, I couldn't be of help to you And what is it about me? Am I cursed or just unlucky? Getting dealt with the heavy hand Through and through So I tell me "Maybe, I'm meant to be lonely The guy they call when they need me The extra in my own story The one they forget, not the one and only" "Maybe, I'm just too needy Gets so attached, it's kind of scary If I was gone, it would be more merry That's my life, that's the way it is" Just ignore me, in my 20s Just another ticking nightmare Waiting for the time when someone will take my place And there's no point in lying If no one knows for sure I'm taking up space, for someone who someone who can do more Than I can ever will, than I can ever will So I tell me "Maybe, I'm meant to be lonely The guy they call when they need me The extra in my own story The one they forget, not the one and only" "Maybe, I'm just too needy Gets so attached, it's kind of scary If I was gone, it would be more merry That's my life, that's the way it is" Oh the pills are driving me insane Tempting me in so many ways Talking about the "easy way" "Maybe, I'm meant to be lonely The guy they call when they need me The extra in my own story Maybe" So I tell me "Maybe, I'm meant to be lonely The guy they call when they need me The extra in my own story The one they forget, not the one and only" "Maybe, I'm just too needy Gets so attached, it's kind of scary If I was gone, it would be more merry That's my life, that's the way it is"
