Elliott Smith

you can go
anytime you want
i won't watch, it hurts too much

if you stay, promise you will be
better to you
better to me

been out to celebrate my new freedom
with a drink to you
'cause you made it new
and i hate people a through z
and everything, everything

i know how celebrate my new freedom
forget other stuff if i drink enough
to pretend that i got people too
and people love me
and care what i feel

you trying to be nice
well i never asked your advice

i know how to handle a situation
gotta be discreet
and admit defeat

you can go
and i say what i should:
"i'm doing okay, pretty good"
