Catch Your Eye

(альбом: Control My Sanity - 2021)

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 till 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?

(Am I still the promise you never kept?)
