A thank you letter (to my ex-wife)

I learned to be stronger I am better by far By leaving your orbit with nary a scar I'm a better man for it I'm glad that we met But, I'm thankful for all that I lost on the bet I want to say thank you For coming into my life Because now that you're missing I have found a new wife If I had not met you I'd have gone on a course That might not have ended With our resulting divorce I am stronger and nicer I now know how to share I do things without asking And I know to be fair That I have to say thank you Because if we were still one I'm sure that I'd have gone and sucked on a gun I want to say thank you For coming into my life Because now that you're missing I have found a new wife If I had not met you I'd have gone on a course That might not have ended With our resulting divorce I just had to say this Thank you for the time I am now very happy And have been a long time I'm a much better person Than I was when with you So I feel it is fair That I tell you thank you I want to say thank you For coming into my life Because now that you're missing I have found a new wife If I had not met you I'd have gone on a course That might not have ended With our resulting divorce

Inspiration for this was from Randy Newman and his song thanking his ex-wife.
