Lyrics I Figured You Out - Elliott Smith

I Figured You Out

seen you watching
her every time she crosses the floor
so just go and talk to someone you really adore
i’m getting pretty used to being
the one you always ignore
when somebody wants you
i’ve seen it before
you’re every kind of color
there ain’t nothing that you won’t claim
your ambition and promise
and your addiction to fame
and everyone’s got a dollar
sign after their name
when somebody wants you
you treat 'em just the same
so go on and pick up you don’t care what poison you choose
or what person you’ll use
should’ve been me, yeah
shouldn’t it be?
crushing quiet
crawls in through your window
from someone who wants you
but you’ll never know
i’ll pick up around you
clear everything out
leave you where i found you
i figured you out
