in spite of me

last night i told a stranger all about you, they smiled patiently in 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, so glad to have been a step up on your way, so glad 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 cold, for a long time i thought you'd be coming back to me, those kind of thoughts can be so cruel, so cruel, late last night i saw you in my living room, you seemed so close and yet so cold, for a long time i thought you'd be coming back to me, those thoughts can be so cruel, and i know you did it all in spite of me, in spite of me, in spite of me
