Balloons in Toronto

almost replacement girl

I waited for you

but you didn't come

you wanted me to stand in line

to wait longer

and hope it would be everything 

I thought it would be

and not even try to wait for everyone else

someone always managed to cut the line

I stood on tiptoes to try to see 

why.

sometimes it was obvious

they were thinner or more beautiful

but sometimes

they weren't

they were spiteful, awful

you came to me and asked me what to do

I died a little, every time

every ounce inside screamed

pick me!

but you didn't

you just wanted me to be there

I finally decided that I was done

turned in my dusty number, my run was done

and just as I walked away

then, you decided to call my name

it didn't happen then

and it won't happen now

I just want to forget it

I will always be

your almost replacement girl
