Useless

I thought for a long time

That it began the day you left

Saying goodbye on mama's porch

Forsaking this troubled woman

‘Cause you thought you did your best

And couldn't give more

You never meant to let me down

But finally I was alone

She's crazy, it's all her fault

But I paid for it anyway

You needed to save yourself

How come you didn't save me, too?

Why did you leave me there?

It all began the day he left

It must be someone else's fault

‘Cause you gave all the love that you had

Talking about it with all your friends

‘Cause the phone is the only escape

From this apartment

You never wanted me to suffocate

But finally I drowned with you

He's a rat, don't ever trust him

I don't trust anyone, anyway

You needed to save yourself

And I'm old enough to understand

Why do I always have to understand?

You might not realize how it hurt

You always did what you could

I just waited for something that never came

Tried all the ways to kill the pain

I'm what I am ‘cause of it all

I'm glad I chose to save myself

I never meant to be ungrateful

But you owe it to me

I never meant to be rude

But it was the only way to say it

I never meant to be mad at you

But I was angry anyway

And it never got me anywhere...
