Catch Your Eye

You’re starting to surface
How is that good for me in the end?
When you smile it’s worthless and I hate all the ways in which you pretend
I tried to block you out, erase memories
I’m overshadowed now
You’re so tongue in cheek
Manipulate and operate the young and weak
How am I supposed to just float by
While you get everything?
You wanna lay me down and watch me die
Let me waste away
Why did I have to catch your eye?
So how am I supposed to just float by?

Confide in me and use me up
Drowning in the half empty cup
Losing interest in three years progress
Am I something that you never wanted?
Strike me down 'til there’s nothing left
Am I still the promise you never kept?
How am I supposed to just float by
While you get everything?
You wanna lay me down and watch me die
Let me waste away
Why did I have to catch your eye?
So how am I supposed to just float by?
Do you care for me or do you worry?
Either way I am not happy
Whatever it is that you see,
Whatever it is that happened,
Whatever it is I can’t be,
I am burning out like matches
How am I supposed to just float by
While you get everything?
You wanna lay me down and watch me die
And let me waste away
Why did I have to catch your eye?
So how am I supposed to just float by?
