Elliott Smith - Unlucky Charm lyrics

My flower would not unfold
Always waiting for some sunnier day
Quiet and patient, but afraid and hidden away
And the awful truth's been told
Matter of fact and I can't take it back
And I wouldn't want to
Or at least that's what I say
Will you come out now?
Now that it's too late for me
To be in on the scene
I hurt you bad, but you know you're a dream
Do you want success, oh yeah

Through somebody else, oh no no no no
So start over
It's been a time since you've had to
Do you got your own thing? yeah
What you want to do for
Now: stop taking everything back
It confronts you just lying down
Will you come out now?
Who would you do it for, unlucky charm
Beautiful collapsing star? Who would it be?
Why wasn't it me?
