Close your eyes and make believe
This is where you wanna be
Forgetting all the memories
Try to forget love
'Cause love's forgotten me
Well, hey, hey, baby
It's never too late
Pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be as distant as stars
Reminiscing, your heart's been wasted on me
You've never been so used
As I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue
You should have seen right through
I'm using you
My little decoy
My little decoy
Living life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you
Just 'cause you're into me
Well, hey, hey, baby
It's never too late
When I'm gone
You won't remember a thing
But I can't stay
And no, I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day
You've never been so used
As I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue
You should have seen right through
I'm using you
My little decoy
I'm not sorry at all
(Not sorry at all, not sorry)
No, I won't be sorry at all
(Not sorry at all, not sorry, no)
I'd do it over again
(Don't look so blue)
My little decoy
(You should have seen right through)
My little decoy
(You've never been so used)
My little decoy
(As I'm using you)
My little decoy
This is where you wanna be
Forgetting all the memories
Try to forget love
'Cause love's forgotten me
It's never too late
Pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be as distant as stars
Reminiscing, your heart's been wasted on me
As I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue
You should have seen right through
I'm using you
My little decoy
My little decoy
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you
Just 'cause you're into me
It's never too late
When I'm gone
You won't remember a thing
But I can't stay
And no, I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day
As I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue
You should have seen right through
I'm using you
My little decoy
(Not sorry at all, not sorry)
No, I won't be sorry at all
(Not sorry at all, not sorry, no)
I'd do it over again
My little decoy
(You should have seen right through)
My little decoy
(You've never been so used)
My little decoy
(As I'm using you)
My little decoy

I think its about a girl who is with someone she really doesnt care for and she cant have the person she really loves so shes using this other guy as a "Decoy" to fill the void while time passes but he doesnt mean anything to her hes just there
actually Hayley talked about this song in a live journal reply to a comment someone left in her post "what are you ashamed of?" and basically Hayley had replied to the girl "i cant say ive ever loved someone and longed for another.but I have loved someone and used another.i actually wrote a song about it and I hope it makes the record."
so personally Im guessing Decoy is that song.and it makes perfect sense. she pretended to like someone just so she could get to another.it was fake.a decoy.i think that basically sums it up in a nutshell.
It's a bonus track on the version sold at Hot Topic.
I don't know. When I first heard this song, I was thinking that she's reiterating what someone said to her. As if in a mocking sense, or just a hurting sense. I partially agree with scene, though. It's kind of like Misery Business in a sense. The same 'I-Don't-Give-A-Damn-About-You' thing.
Yeah. I think she's looking at it from a guys perspective, of how he was using her. And she's basically letting her anger rip.
Probably my favorite song by Paramore.
these lyrics are malicious. too malicious for her. the person in this song is reckless, & very selfish. & that fact has led me to this theory; i feel as if she is singing this song, from the point of view of another. someone who seriously fucked her over, & continues to do this to others as a pattern & she recognized it. i don't know, i just feel that compared to her views on love & pain in other songs, that she'd never seriously agree with this & act on the things she's describing. i can relate, i like to write, & i got hurt by someone who is very, very unsettled. so i wrote it out, from his point of view, to try & better understand it. of course, however, artists like to portray someone else every now & then so i could be wrong.
it was just a thought!
it's not long ^^
there are more lyrics
hm..personally, i relate this song to drugs..
but i highly doubt she was writing about drugs..
