Use Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I may put you on a pedestal
But I'm not your fall from grace
Maybe I enjoy the punishment
Maybe I enjoy the chase
You say you love me in the darkness
But in the day I am denied

[Refrain]
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime

[Verse 2]
It doesn't really matter
If I only fill the space
Of someone you've not forgotten
Of someone who's gone away
Yeah, you lead me to your doorstep
But you keep me locked outside

[Refrain]
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime
Baby, it's alright
Use me anytime

[Verse 3]
When your life is just confusion
And you're crashing to the ground
And you need someone to catch you
And then you finally figure it out
That it was me that held you hostage
That is was me that held the key
That it was me that made you happy
That it was me that set you free

[Refrain]
Baby, it's alright
Use me anytime

[Verse 4]
When there's no one on your doorstep
When there's no one to deny
When there's no one in the darkness
I think you'll finally realize
That it was me that held you hostage
That is was me that held the key
That it was me that made you happy
That it was me that set you free

[Chorus]
Baby, it's alright
Use me anytime

[Outro]
Baby, it's alright
Baby, it's alright
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime
Baby, it's alright
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime
Baby, it's alright

Cover art for Use Me lyrics by Goo Goo Dolls, The

Describes my feelings around my "it's complicated".

We are family friends, which gives us pause. If things end after they get serious, we'll remain in each other's lives to some capacity no matter what. Add to it that I'm relationship fluid bi and trans/culturally queer and she's monogamous and culturally cishet. She's generally supportive of 2LGBTQA+ people but she never expected to fall for a queer trans guy. I never expected to fall fora cishet woman. So it's all pretty complicated, but so far, super fun too :D

Only thing is I hope she doesn't consider that I'm holding her hostage in anyway. But she hasn't been dating anyone else since whatever it is we have started so... I think she's fallen harder than she's admitting to herself. I hope she maintains faith in exploring how we can make each other happy, grow together and separately as free people.
