Consolation Prize

So nice
 Of you to come around and say goodbye
 I don't have to ask if you're alright
 By now I know you better
 And you
 Had a couple kids at 22
 Paid your way through culinary school
 Anything but ordinary
 And I don't mind
 Being second place to your whole life
 To love you is a one way dead end drive
 But I don't think about it really
 And I still see you sometimes
 And it's a fine

 Cut to
 Your ex-husband showed up at your house
 You hauled off and punched him in the mouth
 And he got a restraining order
 Another round
 You packed up and left another town
 Before somebody else could let you down
 I swore I'd never do that to you
 And you still call me sometimes
 And it's a fine

 If you find
 A kind of love that's close to mine
 That'd be a fine

 And if I
 Hear from a friend
 That you're alright
 That'd be a fine
