Use Me

Info

I don't care how you use me. As long as you're happy with me being just your friend,

Then I'll continue to be your best friend till the very end.

I'll be your tool to achieve your goal and I'll support you with my all.

Use me as your shield and I'll catch every bullet that'll be thrown in our way,

I'm ready to sacrifice myself, break every pieces of me just to fix you.

Use me, take me for granted, because that is what I want to do to make you happy.

If you can't see anything, I'll be your light and I'll guide you until I get blind.

I'll be your legs, it's my job to take you everywhere you want to go to.

Use me because that is my purpose in this world — to be treated as an option.

I'll always be in your choice even if I'm no longer the answer you want.

And when the time comes that I became useless to you, feel free to leave me behind.

But before that happens, I'll make sure that you have become strong and powerful;

My promise to you would be fulfilled and everyone has already recognized you;

Your wishes have already come true and you would be the happiest person on earth.

And by that time, my name will be forgotten and will be buried deep in the past

While yours will be known in the entire world and will become a remarkable history.

The spotlight will be yours and you'll be the brightest star they've known

While I'll stay in the loneliness of the dark watching you from afar.

Because that's my role, to be used by you until I'm no longer needed.

And I'll be alone in the dark, being treated as a nonexistent in a place where I was once belong.

You'll become the center of the universe and I'll be here, silently waiting for someone to use me again.
