USED

Walked around the corner
Headed up the street
Trying to forget you
Got in too far, too deep. 

You said you were unhappy
Said this to me before
What am I supposed to do?
When you say ….. that you’re bored?

Can’t believe your timing
Holidays not far away
I bought and wrapped your presents
Bought us tickets to a play. 

What should I tell my family?
Say to my friends at work?
Dammit, you’ve been using me
I feel like such a jerk.

Met you in my 20’s
Now we’re both 35
Everything about you
Has been nothing but a lie.

Used me up, pushed me out
Took the best years of my life
Wasted time, now moved on
You know this isn’t right. 

Broke up with me two times before
Got back together again
Don’t come back, third time’s a charm
No way we can be friends.
