Consolation Prize - Acoustic

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
Consolation prize
It's a fine
Consolation prize

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 said I'd never do that to you
And you still call me sometimes

And it's a fine
Consolation prize
It's a fine
Consolation prize
If you find
A kind of love that's close to mine
That'd be a fine
Consolation prize

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