I had thought it was the beginning of sullen adolescence But I think it was this other thing A more mature understanding of what he can never have If we must love without the lights on Why do I hang on every word? And if it's not, if it's not some kind of symmetry Why are the lines 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 nothin' And I will see you there 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
