Without a doubt I've taken all you can give
And now I suffer through this song
Feel free to hum along

Going back a few short years I can see
That I was never really here
As I collect the facts and sort them in rows
It seems the question's always been
How long can I keep this going?

You can use it against me
In your saddest state of mind
Use it against me
With my ego on the line
Use it againse me anytime

I try to simplify the plot to an outline
But I can never make the end
I want to read some lines that stray from the screenplay
Improvisation's never been
Something I can keep going

You can use it against me
In your saddest state of mind
Use it against me
With my ego on the line
Use it against me

I've never preached a single word
That doesn't sound absurd
I don't know how to pound it in
To make it stick under my skin

You can use it againse me
In your saddest state of mind
Use it against me
With my ego on the line
Use it against me anytime
