Marianne Sveen - Supposed to Have Wept lyrics

[Verse 1] It was cold when you took me to the place you first met You were drunk, you told me before, and her hair was wet You were fumbling around in the dark as you'd lost your keys So she laughed and offered to help and got down on her knees [Verse 2] How can I compete with the love of your life? Your graceful, and caring, and beautiful wife When she's not here to annoy you like the other ones do And make me look better and perfect beside you If you didn't leave her and she didn't leave you You'd probably still be the ones to look up to And I'll never be more than your number two And I can't even hold it against you [Outro] The ghost of your wife has appeared as I supposed to have wept But I'm struggling with finding my place in the bed where she slept
