I've Been Floating For A While

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.
