Elliott Smith Now You Wanna Show Me How Lyrics

burned out, still glowing
but i'm not worth knowing
some sick ass story that follows you, becoming untrue
where a bright tomorrow gives you comfort in sorrow
go around taking back mistakes just to remake them

now you wanna show me how you hate the side of me i want
you know i'm not your lover now, and i will never be,
that's why
now you wanna show me how you hate the side of me i want
you know i'm not your lover now, and i will never be

when i hear your footsteps my lip slips, my feet trip washed out small talk that's all i can do to interact
with you
cause no word of kindness puts the whole thing behind us
d'you think the time would stop for me and you?
d'you think i could make it?

now you wanna show me how you hate the side of me i want
you know i'm not your lover now, and i will never be,
that's why
why you wanna show me how you hate the side of me i want?
you know i'm not your lover now, and i will never be
got rid of me
got rid of me
got rid of me
