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 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 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 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
