Used

When you’re happy

I’m happy

When you’re high

I’m high

When you’re drunk on life

That’s when I’m

That’s when I’m alive.

 

When you’re down

I’m down

I always seem to

Perfectly mimic

Your hidden frown

Especially when you’re not around.

 

You can’t see that I’m a copy cat

Your mood is reflected in me

I really can’t stop feeling that

You think we’re not meant to be

Because you fall in your pit

And you say you’re confused

But that’s the thing

That’s just it

Now you just make me feel used

Used, used, used.

 

When you feel

Feel like you’re on the edge

Please, for me, make this pledge

That you’ll try harder

Hard enough for me to feel

That we’re not just

Running round a never-ending wheel.

 

You can’t see that I’m a copy cat

Your mood is reflected in me

I really can’t stop feeling that

You think we’re not meant to be

Because you fall in your pit

And you say you’re confused

But that’s the thing

That’s just it

Now you just make me feel used

Used, used, used.

 

Your heart, your soul

So fragile, so delicate

Are locked up by this gate

But your heart is mine

My soul is yours

And my mind is still yet to find

I hope it’s linked between your thoughts

Because you don’t show to me

What I think you ought to

And now I worry all the time

That you’re no longer on cloud 9.

 

You can’t see that I’m a copy cat

Your mood is reflected in me

I really can’t stop feeling that

You think we’re not meant to be

Because you fall in your pit

And you say you’re confused

But that’s the thing

That’s just it

Now you just make me feel used

Used, used, used.
