Consolation Prize

So nice of you to come around and say goodbye

I don’t like to ask you, alright

By now I know you better

And you had a couple kids at 22

Paid it with your culinary school

Anything but ordinary

And I don’t mind

Being second place to your whole life

"I love you" is a one way dead end drive

And I don’t think about it really

I still see you sometimes

And that’s a fine consolation prize

That’s a fine consolation prize

Cut to your ex-husband showed up at your house

You hauled off and punched him in the mouth

And he got a restraining order

Another round you packed up and left another town

Before somebody else could let you down

Swore I’d never do that to ya

And you still call me sometimes

And that’s a fine consolation prize

That’s a fine consolation prize

If you find a kind of love that’s close to mine

That’d be a fine consolation prize

And if I, if I’m a friend

That you’re alright

That’d be a fine consolation prize
