I've been floating
for a while.

It's been nice 'till now, (I think),
but they want to steal my smile.

Not that they'd have much to take -
I don't smile all that often -
but I'm happy as it is.

Oh.

I've been sinking
for a while,
have I not?

I'm still having fun, (I think),
even though those faces vile
stole
my most heartfelt and beloved smile.

Not that they had much to take -
I didn't smile all that often, but -
I was happy when I did.

Oh.

I've been at the bottom
for too long,
no doubt.

It's no longer fun, (I know),
since they've taken all I had.
Not that I had much to give -
Can't remember what I lost -
I'm so silly, I've forgotten.
I'm so silly that I smile,
even though I've sunk.

Oh -

I've been floating
for a while.
