Use Me

Walking through the halls was like getting poked with a thorn 
Dating you was a nightmare
The side glances from people I didn't know
The way your friends laughed at me

It wasn't a matter of being embarrassed by you
It was a matter of being embarrassed by letting you use me  
I knew what you did when I wasn't around 
You thought I was an oblivious idiot and didn't know 

I knew what you did with her, my best friend 
It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out 
I was an idiot, but I wasn't oblivious 
            
             ~ losing you felt like it would hurt more than knowing what you did with her
