[Verse 1]
You want him, you need him, it's so hard to please him
You just don't dare
And inside, you're burning with some secret yearnings
You must not care
Still, won't you help me? I'm flawed, desperate, angry with God
'Cause he just won't care
Oh excuse me, you're mourning, how calloused and boring
I brush your hair
[Refrain]
And see your face
Empty smile
I touch that place
And all the while
[Verse 2]
You know it won't stop
So, you make an excuse to confuse the issue (Using you)
What makes you think that I'll care about you? (Losing you)
When you lay on the ground 'til he tells you he's through (Through with you)
And he'll do what he'll do when he'll do it to you
[Refrain]
And all the while, he's been using you
Yes, all the while, he's abusing you
[Verse 3]
So, it finally dawned on me yesterday morning
I just can't stare
And swallow the words that your hero's perverted
On what we share
I'll kill him, I'll beat him, the cycle's repeating
I hold thin arrogance
Still, won't you hold him and trust him?
You love him so much and he still won't care
[Refrain]
To see your face with an empty smile
'Cause I touched that place on you
And all the while
[Bridge]
She says "It's so good when it's so good
If this is so good, then it's no good!"
If this is so good, everybody's so good
Everybody's so good when you're no good
[Refrain]
And all the while, he's been using you
Yes, all the while, he's abusing you
[Verse 5]
With your naked excuse, you confuse your misuse
What makes you think I should care what he'll do?
If you lay on the ground 'til he tells you he's through
And he makes up your mind that that's what you should do
[Refrain]
'Cause all the while, you've been using you
Yes, all the while, you're abusing you
[Outro]
He hurts you, mistreats you, your own mind misleads you
You just won't care
When holes in your face can't be covered with makeup
You'll still stay there
