Close your eyes and make believe this is where you want to be
Forgetting all the memories, try to forget love cause love's forgotten me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be distant, as stars reminiscing
Your heart's been wasted on me
Ohhhhh ohh ah oh oh oh oh
You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy
My little decoy [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/paramore/decoy.html ]
Live your life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you just cause you're into me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late
When I'm gone you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay and you know I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day
Ohhhhh ohh ah oh oh oh oh
You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy
I'm not sorry at all
Oh, no (Not sorry, oh, not sorry)no
I won't be sorry at all
Oh, no (Not sorry, oh, not sorry)no
I'd do it over again
Don't look so blue, my little decoy
You should've seen right through, my little decoy
You've never been so used, my little decoy
As I'm using you, my little decoy
I was reading an angsty teen fic while listening to this and somehow got it in my head that she (the singer) and some guy were together, but only for appearances sake. They may be in high school, where it's sink or swim in the social game. "close your eyes and make believe this is where you want to be" implies that they don't actually have real, deep feelings for each other. "pretty soon you won't remember a thing and i'll be distant, as stars reminiscing your heart's been wasted on me" she doesn't really like him, and while he might've entertained light feelings for her, he will forget her quickly, like most high school romances that seem to come and go. "and i'm forced into you just cause you're into me" like i said, she's with him because maybe he said a passing remark about how he thought she was cool or hot. But she was "gone from the very first day"-she never cared. She only used him. "i won't be sorry at all i'd do it over again" she doesn't mind toying with his brief attentions because she is taking what she can get and maybe making the most of his connections, his friends, his social status.
But, like i said, i came up with this in a fit of teenage angst. Might be too dramatic for you, i think it could be legit.
I think it's about two lovers.. The guy loved her but deep inside the girl she's just using the guy as a decoy.. Because the girl's heart was turned to stone.. Paramore rocks!! Paramore til death.. [x
The person shes singing about id her distarction from who she
really loves and cant have. It says "close your eyes and make
believe this is where you wanna be" so shes trying to pretend that
she doesnt love someone else. Then it says "i cant stay and no i wont
wait, i was gone from the very first day" which is saying that she was never really gonna love them fully.
