Consolation Prize - Alicia Witt

every now and then

i wonder how you’ve been in all this time

i wonder if you ever came around to

what went down and

once in awhile

i think of all the life we spent together

and i don’t even know your number anymore

looking back at all your quiet desperation

in retrospect now aren’t you glad i let you go

isn’t it nice to know that you’re not my consolation prize

doesn’t it feel like freedom breathin in and out now

isn’t it good to see all the love in someone else’s eyes

doesn’t it all make sense that you’re better off without me

oh, oh, whoa

oh, oh… whoa

i wonder if you kept the painting that i gave you

pretty sure she made you throw it out

that sucks i would have loved to have it back

i only brought it home for you because i loved it

all revisionary history aside i loved you too

so why am i the bad guy in your estimation

for being brave enough to say what we we both knew

chor

no grand intention

no pain to mention

just too many days that fade to blue

and look how it came out perfect

for better would have been for worse if

i’d have been the one to settle down that walk with you
