I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
Does she speak eloquently?
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
'Cause the love that you gave
That we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you
To be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me, you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well
Things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well
I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face
How quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me
When you fuck her
'Cause the joke that you laid
On the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes
And you know it
And every time I scratch my nails
Down someone else's back I hope you feel it
Well can you feel it?
But I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
I wish nothing but the best for you both
