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,
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.
