In Spite of Me

Last night, I told a stranger all about you

Smiled patiently with disbelief

Always knew you would succeed no matter what you tried

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

Glad to have been a step up on your way

Proud to be a part of your illustrious career

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

Long time, I thought that you'd be coming back to me

Kinds of things can be so cruel, so cruel

No, you did it all in spite of me

In spite of me
