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.
