I am...

I am the used
You desire
What only I can give
But you're not willing
To take everything that comes with it
I am known for an endless capacity to love and forgive
But I have no room to hate
So tell me
Would you believe me now?
Would you believe me, if I said that I hated you?
Would you know the difference?
Do you think you know who I am?
Can you tell me who you see?
Because my mirror is broken
These sharp pieces of glass
Have become my tongue
Do you really think you can win?
This is my game now
You better give up
Just give in
I'll shine for you
And light up the world
I'll be a sliver of hope
When everyone is full of doubt
Just make sure that when my light is no longer of any use
That you let me go gently
And tell me not to shine
Because I shine just for you
Put me on the shelf
And pray to God that someone will pick me up
Pray to God that I'll shine again
Because I will not shine again
At least not the same
Just use me
Then leave let me gather the pieces
Of who I was
Let me move on
Maybe it's time that I shine for myself
But I'd be so much happier shining for someone else
