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

[Chorus]
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 part of your illustrious career

[Chorus]
And I know you did it all
In spite of me
In spite of me

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
And I know you did it all
In spite of me
In spite of me
