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
