lyrics

I see you making small talk, watch your lips move know the way you walk
I can close my eyes and paint you from memory
I duck away and out of sight, can't take a face to face tonight
But I can watch your shadow, feel your body on the breeze

I must have been careless, ended up where I knew you'd be
I could've been careless, I could've been hypnotized but maybe you see

I'm a slave to Katy, the shards of my heart are splattered on my sleeve
There's not much left and I owe it all to Katy
She takes a little piece of me every time she leaves

I see you face like a magnet, drawn to you but where I don't know yet
You're the sun in my morning, you're my center of gravity
Where am I now and where are you? You were here I've lived in that perfume
It's way passed love now, something else has got a hold on me

I must have been careless, ended up where I knew you'd be
I could've been careless, I could've been hypnotized but maybe you see

I'm a slave to Katy, the shards of my heart are splattered on my sleeve
There's not much left and I owe it all to Katy
She takes a little piece of me every time she leaves

I thought I was beholden to the usual suspects
Jealousy, envy, and lies
Now I know that my soul's not my own
Every time I look in my eyes

I must have been careless, ended up where I knew you'd be
I could've been careless, I could've been hypnotized but maybe you see

I'm a slave to Katy, the shards of my heart are splattered on my sleeve
There's not much left and I owe it all to Katy
She takes a little piece of me every time she leaves
