Use Me Like You Used To
Ephemeral Desires: Embracing the Bittersweet Echoes of 'Use Me Like You Used To'
Lyrics
Verse me in the language you speak
Asking to be educated or informed in the way the other person communicates or expresses themselves.
And then throw me to the side
After being involved or engaged, being discarded or ignored.
Tell me I’m the one that you see
Desire for affirmation of being the primary focus or priority in the other person's perspective.
And then hide me out of sight
Following affirmation, being concealed or kept away from public view.
You,
Expressing a need for the other person, acknowledging a willingness to prove this need, and a plea to be utilized as before.
I need you more than
-I know how to prove you I do
-I need you like you used to need me
-So go on and use me like you used to
-You used to
-Make it my reality
Describing a desire for the other person to make their presence and affection a tangible and undeniable part of the narrator's reality.
Burn me in your fire
-Tell me that you love me then leave
-It’s all that I desire
-You,
Reiteration of the need for the other person, emphasizing the plea to be used in the manner they were used to in the past.
I need you more than
-I know how to prove you I do
-I need you like you used to need me
-So go on and use me
-Like you used to
-Yeah you,
Continued expression of dependency on the other person and a plea to be used in the familiar way from the past.
I need you more than
-I know how to prove you I do
-I need you like you used to need me
-So go on and use me like you used to
-You used to
-Use me like you used to
Final repetition of the request to be used as before, suggesting a longing for a past connection or dynamic.
