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 triedAnd I know you did it all

In spite of meStill I'm proud to have know you

For the short time that I did

Glad to have been a step up on your way

Proud to be part of your illustrious careerAnd I know you did it all

In spite of me, in spite of meLate last night I saw you in my living room

You seemed so close but yet so cold

For a long time I thought that

You'd be coming back to me

Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel

So cruelAnd I know you did it all

In spite of me, in spite of me
