[Verse 1]
Paid for what’s believed
It’s nowhere in my mind
Was it something I said
Spoon-like a knife from within
She laid asleep there the whole time
And it wears under my skin
[Chorus]
You asked me in private
If I wrote that song about you
You said that it stuck with you then
That it meant everything
If I had missed that transfer
There’d be no songs left to sing
[Verse 2]

You said that it stuck with you then
That it meant everything
If I had missed that transfer
There’d be no songs left to sing

Just to hear you speak my name
(Speak my name)
I’d give anything
Just to hear you speak my name
(Speak my name)
[Chorus]
You asked me in private
If I wrote that song about you
You said that it stuck with you then
That it meant everything
If I had missed that transfer
There’d be no songs left to sing
(To sing)
[Outro]
Speak my name
I’d give anything
Just to hear you speak my name
Speak my name

I don’t think he is referring to any specific song.
In an interview Bert explained that he and his childhood friend Tregen Lewis once have had an ‘intimate moment’ after which Tregen thought ‘songs’ of the Used’s albums were written for/about him. (Which was not specifically the case.)
