The Party Guest
It's okay now, I'm willing to finally claim defeat
I'll go home and put The Queen Is Dead infinitely on repeat
'Cause I saw you and your new man walking
hand in hand on the street
and that's just something that I wasn't ready to see
So when the party guests arrive tonight I'll be the first one there
With roses waiting in my hand and a certain sense of despair
When the party guests clear out tonight I'll be the last to go
and I will still be waiting on you wondering if you'll ever show
Everybody tries to remind me that I never belonged to you
So I always have to explain to them I was someone you once knew
You were interested in the things I did, but now I'm just old news
Just a late evening paper that's soaked in rain,
and never gonna get any use
So when the party guests arrive tonight I'll be the first one there
With the roses waiting in my hand and a certain sense of despair
When the party guests clear out tonight I'll be the last to go
and I will still be waiting on you wondering if you'll ever show
I put on my blue suede shoes,
'cause I was hoping to dance
You're not even here to step on them,
So I guess I'll refill my glass
When the party guests arrived tonight I was the first one here
Roses waiting in my hand, and a certain sense of despair
When the party guests cleared out tonight I was the last to go
I was hopelessly waiting on you wondering if you'd ever show
I was stupidly waiting on you knowing you'd never show
