In Spite of Me

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 careers And I know you did it all in spite of me In spite of me [Bridge] Bridge 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 [Outro] And I know you did it all in spite of me In spite of me In spite of me In spite of me
