in spite of me

last night i told a stranger all about you

they smiled patiently in disbelief

i always knew you would succeed no matter what you tried

and i know you did it all in spite of me

still i'm proud to have known you for the short time that i did

so glad to have been a step up on your way

so glad to be a part of your illustrious career

and i know you did it all in spite of me

in spite of me

late last night i saw you in my living room

you seemed so close but yet so cold

for a long time i thought you'd be coming back to me

those kind of thoughts can be so cruel

so cruel

late last night i saw you in my living room

you seemed so close and yet so cold

for a long time i thought you'd be coming back to me

those thoughts can be so cruel

and i know you did it all in spite of me

in spite of me

in spite of me
