I Didn't Understand
Elliott Smith
XO (1998)

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-neverland.
And I could've gone to that place,
But I didn't understand.
I didn't understand.

I didn't understand.
