Analysis of Used
Why did you do what you did?
I will never trust you again!
You made me think I was special to you
But you just played me for a fool
I tried and tried and tried with you
I reached out but you never came through
All the lies you said to my face
Acting like you were the one that was great
Telling me stories about your life
Making me feel sorry for you
Playing with my heart and mind
When it wasn't in the best place at that time
I'm finally moving on with my life
So this is my good-bye
