use me up

i don't typically like to have an entire post be song lyrics, but sometimes you come across something so beautiful, you have to share it.

Somebody let me down
Somebody show me love
I wouldn't care much either way

I'd rather the sticks and stones
Than draggin the ball and chain
What if the world wont take me

Even if the holes should crack
Even if the blood flows red
Nothin could be worse than numb

Please
Use me up
Just want any one
To use me up
No one ever does
Use me up

I've carried it all too long
The fear and the pain it brings
Feeling the panic building up
I'd rather the broken heart
Than living in the empiness
What if the world won't save me

Even if the bough should break
Even if the blood runs cold
Nothing could be worse than numb

Please
Use me up
Just want any one
To use me up
No one ever does
Use me up
Use me up

Treat me somewhere cruel
You can throw me away
As long as I feel it
Show me something real
You can't decieve me
I am yours to use

Use me up
Use me up
Use me up

i was lucky enough to hear this performed live as it was recorded back in may. those of you who know me will not be surprised to learn that this is a song from hanson.
