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 would stumble into i had a lot on my mind and there were so many rules it makes a girl crazy makes you break a few and there i go again acting like it s 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 it s 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 and i dont need you comin around one thing i should probably say i got over it all and i surrendered the pain that s the thing about mistakes you never see em comin til it s too late 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  sacrifice my happiness it s 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 it s 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
