Dessa - Congratulations lyrics

Alexander

Congratulations
You have invented a new kind of stupid:
A 'damage you can never undo' kind of stupid
An 'open all the cages at
The zoo' kind of stupid
Truly, you didn't think this
Through? Kind of stupid

Let's review
You took a rumor a few, maybe two
People knew and refuted it
By sharing an affair
Of which no one has accused you
I begged you to take a break, you refused to
So scared of what your enemies
Might do to you
But, you're the only enemy you
Ever seem to lose to
You know why Jefferson can do what he wants?
He doesn't dignify schoolyard taunts
With a response!

So yeah, congratulations!
You've redefined your legacy congratulations

I languished in a loveless marriage in London
I lived only to read your letters
I look at you and think 'God
What have we done with our lives
And what did it get us?'
That doesn't wipe the tears or the years away
But, I'm back in the city
And I'm here to stay
I know what I'm here to do
I'm not here for you

I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as
Trusting or as kind and a million years ago
She said to me 'this one's mine'
So I stood by do you know why?

I love my sister more than
Anything in this life
I will choose her happiness
Over mine every time eliza
Is the best thing in our life
So never lose sight of the fact that you
Have been blessed with the best wife

Congratulations for the rest of your life
Every sacrifice you make is for my sister
Give her the best life

Congratulations
