In Spite of Me

In Spite of Me - ********

Last night I told a stranger all about you

They smiled patienty 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 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 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
