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

Still I'm proud to have know you
For the short time that I did
Glad to have been a step up on your way
Proud to be 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 that
You'd be coming back to me
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
So cruel

And I know you did it all
In spite of me, in spite of me
