Lyrics I Didn't Understand - Elliott Smith

I Didn't Understand

Thought you’d be looking for the next in line to love
Then ignore, put out, and put away
And so you’d soon be leaving me
Alone, like I’m supposed to be
Tonight, tomorrow, and everyday
There’s nothing here that you’ll miss
I can guarantee you this:
Is a cloud of smoke
Trying to occupy space
What a fucking joke
What a fucking joke
I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
And take me off, far away from you
Cause my feelings never change a bit
I always feel like shit
I don’t know why, I guess that I just do
You once talked to me about love
And you painted pictures of
A Never Never Land
And I could’ve gone to that place
But I didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
