JEW is NOT "no talent scum", come to think of it, the band of which you are named after "Stray Light Run" Is no talent scum. Now that we've cleared that little problem up, This song seems to be about a friend of a rather brash guy that breaks the girl's heart and walks out on her, and so now shes crushed, hence the verse "Well it's just like being alone" she can't even speak to her friend anymore because of what his friend did to her. And the JEW version is also very beautiful, and Elliott Smith himself was a fan of some of JEWs earlier stuff, so stop the bashing.
