I have a few words in defense of my youth My regrets will fill an ocean or two I was young I didn't know What I would stumble into
I had a lot on my mind And there were so many rules It makes a girl crazy Makes you break a few
And there I go again Acting like it's my fault
When you're to blame
It makes me happy
To use you a little
Just to use you a little To write this song It's the very last letter
To an old lover To say I'm glad you're gone
I've got snapshots of things in my mind Though I left the past We don't leave it behind But I learned And now I know That I don't need you comin' around One thing I should probably say, I got over it all and I surrendered the pain
That's the thing about mistakes You never see 'em comin'
Till it's too late
It makes me happy To use you a little Just to use you a little
To write this song It's the very last letter To an old lover To say I'm glad
Sacrifice my happiness It's not enough to know I'm better off the way it is Makes me happy To use you a little Just to use you a little To write this song It's the very last letter To an old lover
To say I'm glad
It makes me happy
To use you a little
Just to use you a little
To write this song It's the very last letter
To an old lover To say I'm glad you're gone
