Used. — Summary

When no one else was there, You were the first one I could count on, You always seemed to care.

But nothing lasts forever In the end, you changed. You said I was your first choice, But now I am just an option.

I used to believe in you You made me happy. I miss everything that was real about you, You were the only one who kept me going.

Now I am left alone. I didn't know that being alone was this hard. I know you've moved on , at least you're happy. But I don't know why I keep getting angry.

Why was it easy for you to forget All the memories we made From the day we first met. Iv'e got so much to say but nobody ever listens.

Cause now you're with her And you make it look so easy If I was a burden to you I'm sorry, I thought we both had a happy ending, Only you did.

Someone the speaker trusted has drifted away, and the speaker is left to deal with what remains. At first this person was the one who always cared, the one who made the speaker feel chosen. Then things changed, and "first choice" turned into "just an option." The subtitle, "Used," hints at how the speaker now sees the relationship: as something taken from rather than shared.

The feelings are tangled. The speaker misses what was real, admits that being alone is harder than expected, and even tries to be generous by saying "at least you're happy." Yet anger keeps breaking through, and the speaker can't explain why. The sharpest hurt comes near the end, when the other person is with someone else and finds it easy. The speaker apologizes for possibly being a burden, then ends on a bitter note: "Only you did." The mood is sad, raw, and lonely, with the unspoken sense that nobody is listening.

Just her.

Days pass and I am Unnoticed, By the girl I have been dreaming of, By the girl who made everything in my life a little better. By the one girl who can steal my heart but I can't steal hers.
