All Used Up

Maybe we’re both really to blame

But I know that’s simply my way

Of over-justifying

I should’ve lied to your face

Maybe we could have kept trusting

And always relying

But instead we ended up

Right where we started

Minus the promises

We left behind

I guess I thought I could

Leave you broken-hearted

Step back re-configure

And you wouldn’t mind

Till we’re going down swinging

I could’ve warned you, I should’ve told you

But I guess I expected you’d know

I wasn’t lying now I’m done trying

To convince you that I’ll never go

'Cause we’re all used up

I had a card up my sleeve

Question is whether I knew it was a crime

Who are we supposed to believe

Both of us left wondering

If I’m bluffing the whole time

And now we appear here

In this house of mirrors

Distorting re-living

Till there’s nothing at all

What made us think it would get any clearer

It looks like we set ourselves up for the fall

Till we’re going down swinging

Please don’t talk to me

Let’s pretend that’ll do the trick

Please pass me by on the street

It makes me sick 'cause we’re all used up
