Use Me Up

I had thought it was the beginning of a solid adolescence
But I think it was this other thing
A more mature understanding of what you could never have
If we must love we got the lights on
Why do I hang on every word?
And if it’s not, if it’s not some kind of symmetry
Where the line’s so blurred
So if you’re gonna use me
Then use me up
If we are only for the moment
Why do we talk about our dreams?
And if it’s not
If it’s not some kind of poetry
Why do I wonder what it means?
So if you’re gonna use me
Then use me up
So if you’re gonna use me
Then use me up
We won’t call this love
There is no warmth around the edges
Around the edges of the pain
We wear this down until it’s nothing
And I will see you then, again
So if you’re gonna use me
Then use me up
So if you’re gonna use me
Then use me up
We won’t call this love
So if you’re gonna use me
Then use me up
So if you’re gonna use me
Then use me up
We won’t call this love
