Use Me

There’s a lot of different ways that I can be
And I can change and start all over
I can say one thing
And then I’ll take it back and count
To ten and say it better
I can change my hair and change my style
Change my lines, and change the lines I say
Mmm yeah, I can be anyone if that means I
Become the one you want to stay

I never thought that this would
Be the last time, or you would cut me lose
I never thought that I would suddenly
Become the one you didn’t choose
I can change my hair and change my words
But I can’t change how bad this hurts
Can’t change the way my eyes won’t shut
Gave up when you gave up us
But I can’t care 'bout anything
If I can’t care 'bout you
I can’t accept this silence
I won’t accept that we lose
And you can't knock me breathless
Then find somebody else whose breath is new
Oh, babe, you can use me if you want to

I never thought I’d be the girl to play
It all and lay down all her cards
I never thought I’d be the sort to
Give up everything because he asked
But that was before I knew nothing
Felt as whole as having you
And though I’m just your option three
At least you still think of me
When she’s not around, I’m what you need

'Cause I can’t care 'bout anything
If I can’t care 'bout you
I can’t accept this silence
I won’t accept that we lose
And you can't knock me breathless
Then find somebody else whose breath is new
Babe, you can use me if you want to
Mmm, mmm, mmm
'Cause I gave up oxygen and, babe
I grew thicker skin
I adapted to be what you need
And you think I’m confident
But I overcompensate
For how much you don’t see
So I pack a backpack and say
"I won’t look back"
"I deserve better, I’m done"
But I won’t pretend
I'll come back 'round again
A little is better than none

So I can’t care 'bout anything
If I can’t care 'bout you
I can’t accept this silence
I won’t accept that we lose
And you can't knock me breathless
Then find somebody else whose breath is new
Whose breath is new
'Cause I can’t care about anything
If I can’t care about you
I can’t accept this silence
I won’t accept that we lose
And you can't knock me breathless
Then find somebody else whose breath is new
Babe, you can use me if you want to
Mmm, mmm, mmm
