Lyrics:

Somebody let me down, somebody show me love, I wouldn't care much either way
I'd rather the sticks and stones, than dragging the ball and chain, of "what if the world won't save me"

Even if the hull should crack, even if the blood flows red, nothing could be worse than numb, so please, use me up
I just want anyone, to use me up
'Cause no one ever does, use me up

I've carried it all too long, the fear of the pain it brings, feeling the panic building up
I'd rather the broken heart, than live in the emptiness, of "what if the world won't take me"

Even if the bow should break, even if the blood runs cold, nothing could be worse than numb
Please, use me up
I just want anyone, to use me up
'Cause no one ever does, use me up, use me up

Treat me some way cruel, you can throw me away, as long as I feel it
Show me something true, you can deceive me, I am yours to use
Use me up, use me up
