Elliott Smith - Alameda lyrics
[Elliott Smith - Alameda lyrics]
Shuffling your deck of trick
Cards over everyone
Like some precious only son
Face down, bow to the champion
You walk down Alameda
Looking at the cracks in the sidewalk
Thinking about your friends
How you maintain all them in
A constant state of suspense
For your own protection over their affection
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cause you
Can't finish what you start
Walk down Alameda
Brushing off the nightmares you wish could
Plague me when I'm awake
So now you see your first mistake
Was thinking that you could relate
For one or two minutes she liked you
But the fix is in
You're all pretension, I never pay attention
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you
Can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you
Can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you
Can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart if you're alone
It must be you that wants to be apart
