Flatter

You can flatter yourself that I once loved only you
You can flatter yourself cause I would have stayed true
You can flatter yourself cause I tried to keep you with me
There's no turning your head from this

You can flatter yourself that all the problems were mine
You can flatter yourself that I was the one who cried
You can flatter yourself that I was the seemingly weak
There's no turning your head from this

You can flatter yourself you were gentle when you wanted out
You can flatter yourself that I let you keep the house
You bought me off with some things that were already mine
Now I'll turn my head from this
I'll turn my head

And I'm happy
Now I can shine in my full light
And I'm glad you finally found a girl
Who can wear her heels while walking beside you
Glad you finally found a girl
Who won't have the power to hurt or confine you
Glad you found
A dimmer star

Some star

That's some star you've got there, babe...

You can flatter yourself that you were once loved by me
You can flatter yourself cause that is the best you'll be
And though as you here I am still very angry
I'm grateful
You set me free

(So, so - sad and lonely
So, so - not at all
So, so - if you could feel this
So, so - if you could call... )
