Used

Verse 1

I’ve heard these whispers since I could speak,

Shadows murmuring, telling me I’m weak.

Not enough, always wrong, forever flawed,

A child lost, seeking approval but feeling defrauded.

I give myself to those who barely see,

Just to feel a love that will never be.

Yet every face looks the same to me,

They don’t want me—they crave what I bleed.

Pre-Chorus

I run in circles, never breaking free,

Caught between the love I crave and the love that buries me.

They love what I give, not the soul that’s cracked,

I give until I’m gone, but I can’t give it back.

Chorus

Use me, abuse me, throw me away,

It’s just another broken day.

I’m haunted by the love I’ll never know,

Lost in a place where shadows grow.

How could you love me when no one else could?

I’m drowning in doubt, misunderstood.

My brain won’t let me feel it’s real,

So here I stay, unable to heal.

Verse 2

I've survived desperation, clawing for more,

A sense of acceptance I’ve never felt before.

The love that comes is distant, cold,

I fill the gaps in others’ souls, never whole.

I am drawn to them, the same faces, new names,

They use my heart, but it’s all the same game.

I offer the love that I don’t know how to receive,

But in the end, it’s always me who bleeds.

Pre-Chorus

I wear these scars like a second skin,

Trapped in the cycle I’ve always been in.

Afraid of the good, convinced it’s a lie,

How could I be loved when all love does is die?

Chorus

Use me, abuse me, throw me away,

Another chapter in a book of dismay.

I’m haunted by the love I’ll never know,

Caught in a storm where I can’t grow.

How could I be too much for everyone else,

Yet not enough to love myself?

My heart rejects what my soul desires,

Trapped in the flames of my own fire.

Bridge

I want to break free, but I’m shackled by fear,

Afraid of the love that feels too near.

How could I ever trust that it's true?

When all I’ve ever known is love that’s blue.

So I sit in this silence, trapped in my head,

Wishing for a love I push away instead.

Outro

Use me, abuse me, throw me away,

It’s just another shattered day.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be enough,

But still, I search for that elusive love.

In the end, I’m just a broken soul,

Chasing a love I’ll never hold.
