Supposed to Have Wept

[Verse 1]
It was cold when you took me to the place you first met
You were drunk, you told me before, and her hair was wet
You were fumbling around in the dark as you'd lost your keys
So she laughed and offered to help and got down on her knees

[Verse 2]
How can I compete with the love of your life?
Your graceful, and caring, and beautiful wife
When she's not here to annoy you like the other ones do
And make me look better and perfect beside you
If you didn't leave her and she didn't leave you
You'd probably still be the ones to look up to
And I'll never be more than your number two
And I can't even hold it against you

[Outro]
The ghost of your wife has appeared as I supposed to have wept
But I'm struggling with finding my place in the bed where she slept
