Come to Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MacFli 

Cover art for Come to Me lyrics by Elliott Smith

I let my girl slip away from me. I told myself that we were mutually splitting up, but I knew somewhere inside that I was letting it happen to save here from my toxic nature. I thought that I was unhappy with her and myself at the time, and that I couldn't or wouldn't give her what she needed and deserved. Enough time has passed since then that I came to realize that she was my entire life's meaning and that I haven't known happiness at all since we split. I know now what I'm willing and capable of doing to make it work, just a little too late. I've always loved Elliott's writings, but the pain shines too hard when you begin to relate.
