Elliot Smith was a lyrical genius

I had tender feelings that you made hard,
But its your heart, not mine, thats scarred.
So when I go home, Ill be happy to go -
You're just somebody that I used to know.


You dont need my help anymore,
Its all now to you, there aint no before,
Now that youre big enough to run your own show
You're just somebody that I used to know.

I watched you deal in a dying day,
And throw a living past away,
So you can be sure that you're in control,
You're just somebody that I used to know.

I know you dont think you did me wrong,
And I cant stay this mad for long,
Keeping a hold of what you just let go -
You're just somebody that I used to know
