In Spite of Me

Last night I told a stranger all about you

They smiled patiently with 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

Proud to have been a step up on your way

Proud to be 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 cool

For a long time, I thought that you'd be coming back to me

Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel, so cruel

And I know you did it all

In spite of me

In spite of me
