lyrics

I’ve been used, thrown away
My ego bruised, no more to say
I’m not myself, anymore
Can’t pick myself up off the floor

Left out to dry, you strung me up
One more drink, just one more cup
You push and shove, till I say yes
You’ve had your way now I’m a mess

This pain will take, it's time to mend.
Invisible scars, I feel again
You’re in my head, can’t get you out
Just want to scream but I’m so burnt out

Been down this road, a time or two
I’m through with being used by you
You’ll never have me back again
Won’t put myself back through your games

And I’ll be fine, now that you’re gone
I just need to keep moving on
The sun will shine on all these blues
This is the last time I’ll be used
This is the last time I’ll be used
This is the last time I’ll be used
