"In Spite Of Me" lyrics

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

So proud to have known you
For the short time that I did
I'm proud to have been a step up on your way
I'm proud 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 kinds of thoughts can be so cruel
So cruel

And I know you did it all
In spite of me
