Discover the story of the song > Use Me (Brutal Hearts) – Dove Cameron

The protagonist is asking if the other person is the one she's been searching for, someone who can break her heart and hold her at the same time. She's okay with being used by him because she's just happy that he wants her at all. They both wonder if they are the "brutal hearts" that can break the night in two, and the protagonist wants to spend the night with him, even though she doesn't like the person she becomes when she's with him. They want to make the night a happy one. In the end, they both agree to use each other.
