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? Drag 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 Let me waste away Why did I have to catch your eye? So how am I supposed to just float by?
