Songtexte My New Freedom (Live) - Elliott Smith

You can go any time you want
I won't watch if it hurts too much
But if you stay, I promise you I'll be
Better to you, better to me

I've been out to celebrate my new freedom
With a drink to you, 'cause you made it new
And I hate people A through Z
Everything, everything

I know how to celebrate my new freedom
And forget other stuff if I drink enough
To pretend that I got people, too
People I know who care what I do

You, busy trying to be nice
I never asked your advice

I know how to handle a situation
How to be discreet and admit defeat
You can go and I'll say what I should
"I'm, uh, doing okay, pretty good"
