I have a few words in defense of my youth
My regrets will fill an ocean or two
I was young
I didn't know
What I would stumble into

I had a lot on my mind
And there were so many rules
It makes a girl crazy
Makes you break a few

And there I go again
Acting like it's my fault

When you're to blame

It makes me happy

To use you a little

Just to use you a little
To write this song
It's the very last letter

To an old lover
To say I'm glad you're gone

I've got snapshots of things in my mind
Though I left the past
We don't leave it behind
But I learned
And now I know
That I don't need you comin' around
One thing I should probably say,
I got over it all and I surrendered the pain

That's the thing about mistakes
You never see 'em comin'

Till it's too late

It makes me happy
To use you a little
Just to use you a little

To write this song
It's the very last letter
To an old lover
To say I'm glad

Sacrifice my happiness
It's not enough to know
I'm better off the way it is
Makes me happy
To use you a little
Just to use you a little
To write this song
It's the very last letter
To an old lover

To say I'm glad

It makes me happy

To use you a little

Just to use you a little

To write this song
It's the very last letter

To an old lover
To say I'm glad you're gone
