My Greatest Invention

I wonder where you are right now
I guess I always do
People mention you all the time
Without me asking them to

I take the dirt they give me
I put it in the books
I smear around the memories
Until I like how it looks
I get a taste for everything
And then I swallow the hook

You were the life of the party
Even when you didn't attend
I would get lost telling stories
But I’d always have to change up the end
I'd complete the collection
Of my favorite reflections
With an all-out rejection
Of our true imperfections
You were my greatest invention

It's getting hard to keep in order
My different versions of you
Which one's just an answer to a question
Which one is actually true?

You can turn a second inside out
And end up with an eternity
But to polish up a diamond
You have to clear some debris
It doesn't work for everyone
But it works for me

You were the life of the party
Even when you didn't attend
I would get lost telling stories
But I’d always have to change up the end
I'd complete the collection
Of my favorite reflections
With an all-out rejection
Of our true imperfections
You were my greatest invention

You were the life of the party
Even when you didn't attend
I would get lost telling stories
But I’d always have to change up the end
I'd complete the collection
Of my favorite reflections
With an all-out rejection
Of our true imperfections
You were my greatest invention
You were my greatest invention

I wonder where you are right now
I guess I always do
