I have a few words in defense of my youth My guts are feeling an ocean or two I was young I didn’t know what I was stumbling into I’ve had a lot on my mind and there were so many rules Makes a girl crazy, makes her break a few And there I go again Acting like its 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 Its the very last letter To an old lover To say I'm glad you’re gone I’ve got snapshots of things on my mind Though I love the past we don’t leave it behind But I learned and now I know I don’t need you coming around One thing I should probably say I got over it all, and surrendered the pain Thats the thing about mistakes You never see them coming Until its too late It makes me happy To use you a little Just to use you a little To write this song Its the very last letter To an old lover To say I'm glad Sacrifice my happiness Its not enough to know I’m better off the way it is It makes me happy To use you a little Just to use you a little To write this song Its 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.
