What's happened to that perfect vision of me? Where has all that self-confidence gone to? I look over at you, sleeping on your side And realize that you are draining me You're so blind, you can't see Floating blissfully in oblivion While I'm wading in uncertainty "Which Scott Mitchell will appear today?" I don't even know if I care anymore The guesses have eaten me up Are you merely taking me for granted Or is there someone new? Are you only being lazy Or do you simply not care? Sometimes you are still sweet But those times are getting few and far between I decide to say "screw it all I'm worth so much more than this." For some reason, I remain silent Offering excuses as I tread these waters of self-doubt When did I lose my mystique? When did I stop being an attraction? Why am I only given crumbs between this Fascinated dance with your remote?
