Used?

2002

Please tell me that you aren't using me

I'm so very tired of being played

Don't keep me around until there's a better option

Someone prettier, someone nicer, with a different name

Why did you tell me not to worry

Of course I'm going to worry

You aren't satisfied with me for whatever reason

You made me promise if ever there was someone I would rather be with

I'd make that choice without a second thought

Are you only making me promise that

You won't feel guilty when you take that liberty yourself

I never thought you'd hurt me

But that was an unreasonable want

No matter how perfect everything seems

Somehow things get fucked up because of my flaws

You know as well as I do

That if I was the one for you

You're thoughts would never have drifted to anyone else

And that's the awful truth

So maybe we shouldn't drag this out any longer

Maybe we should just say goodbye

Oh Katie... I hope everything turns out okay.

These are the thoughts that make me sad at night. Writing like this makes me think of that famous quote "It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all," and I wonder if they were right when they said that. Very emotional.
