"Used" lyrics

"Used"

Well I sold myself short, again and again
Just to be what you needed, a means to an end
I swore you were worth it, I swore I wouldn't feel a thing

I'm in between hate, love, and finding myself
So hopelessly tethered to your picture on the shelf
Because I know you're not hurting and that hurts most of all

Singing ohhhh, you played me like a fool
You took what you needed and left me here cheated and used

Why'd you have to go and ruin everything?
Why'd you have to tell me all your hopes and dreams?
Why can't you just pick the phone up when it rings?
I've been calling all night...

Singing ohhhh, you played me like a fool
You took what you needed and left me here jaded and used
Singing ohhhhh, you played me like a fool
You took what you needed and left me here jaded and used

Here's to feeling like I'm never enough
Here's to giving all I had for this love
Here's to distance and longing and what still is haunting my head
Here's to doing this over again
Here's to living with all this regret
I've never been a quitter and that makes me much more bitter in the end

Singing ohhhh, you played me like a fool
You took what you needed and left me here jaded and used
Singing ohhhh, you played me like a fool
You took what you needed and left me here jaded and used
You left me here used
