Used And Abused
Danger Radio Lyrics

Last night I picked up the phone
The singer received a call late at night.

Late call said you were alone
The caller was alone and probably upset.

Crying to me about all the things that we said
The caller was upset about past hurtful things they had said to the singer.

Apologized for your ways
The caller expressed regret for their actions and behavior.

Said you hadn't slept in days
The caller is experiencing sleeplessness, which could be due to emotional distress.

Said that you need me
The caller expressed a dependency on the singer.

And it was just a phrase
The caller's statements may not have been sincere.

So i come back opened my mind
The artist decided to give the caller another chance.

Decided to give you the time
The artist decided to invest time in the relationship despite past issues.

To make it up to me and not turn away
The artist wanted the caller to make amends for their past actions and not abandon the relationship.

But then again to my surprise
The singer was caught off guard by the caller's behavior.

Fooled me once more with your disguise
The caller deceived the artist again despite promises to change.

I should've listened to what my friends had said
The singer's friends had warned them about the caller's behavior.

All the lies you fed to me
The caller has been dishonest with the singer.

You keep messing with me
The caller continues to play with the singer's emotions.

Promises you never keep
The caller fails to follow through on their commitments.

You said you want me to stay
The caller expressed a desire for the relationship to continue.

That I can't leave you no way
The caller feared the singer might end the relationship.

But then you run away when
The caller avoids the singer when they come knocking on their door.

Suddenly want me to leave
The caller's behavior is inconsistent and erratic.

Can't stand to be beside me
The caller has grown to dislike the artist's company.

Used and Abused me
The caller has mistreated the artist.

But I won't be coming back no more
The singer has decided to end the relationship.

Now weeks had passed you left my side
Some time has passed since the artist last interacted with the caller.

Left all my thoughts of you behind
The singer has moved on from the relationship emotionally.

No use in being miserable or depressed
The singer has found it pointless to dwell on the past unhappiness.

Sometimes I see you walking by
The singer occasionally encounters the caller.

But never bother to say hi
The artist has no interest in interacting with the caller anymore.

Don't worry to get caught up this mess again
The artist advises the caller not to repeat the same behavior pattern in future relationships.

What a mess we have made
Both narrator and caller are responsible for the unhealthy state of their relationship.

Selling lust off as love
The relationship was primarily physical and sexually driven.

But it's just not the same
The physical component of the relationship was not enough to sustain it.

Let you make me the fool
The artist allowed the caller to manipulate and deceive them.

Won't let it happen
The artist has learned from their mistakes and will not let themselves be used and abused in the same way in future relationships.
