Consolation

When you drank up all the poison Did you wait for him to die? Honey all of that resentment Is just a waste of time... I'm not the one who hurt you Girl every heart breaks But I just can't stay here payin' For someone else's mistakes I know he left you reelin' I know you've got your pride And a promise without feelin' That's just another way of lyin' If you're looking for some Consolation I can give you some Consolation But I won't be your Consolation Prize Now it's laid out there before you Even a blind man could see You're so focused on the old hurt You can't see that you're losin' me I know you couldn't claim him That must've hurt your pride But I really couldn't blame him Now that I've seen the other side If you're looking for some Consolation I can offer you some Consolation But I won't be your Consolation Prize Forgive me for sayin' cuz this might just strike a nerve I may be half of what you wanted but I'm twice what you deserve So I suppose it's little Consolation To offer you this revelation That I'll never be your Consolation Prize
