Without a doubt I've taken all you can give   And now I suffer through this song   Feel free to hum along      Going back a few short years I can see   That I was never really here   As I collect the facts and sort them in rows   It seems the question's always been   How long can I keep this going?      You can use it against me   In your saddest state of mind   Use it against me   With my ego on the line   Use it againse me anytime      I try to simplify the plot to an outline   But I can never make the end   I want to read some lines that stray from the screenplay   Improvisation's never been   Something I can keep going      You can use it against me   In your saddest state of mind   Use it against me   With my ego on the line   Use it against me      I've never preached a single word   That doesn't sound absurd   I don't know how to pound it in   To make it stick under my skin      You can use it againse me   In your saddest state of mind   Use it against me   With my ego on the line   Use it against me anytime
