Am I a catalyst? A perfect equationalized lesson before Before the rest happens? Just when I find the love of my life They find theirs after me Painfully And while its bubbling and brewing like a sour cup of black coffee You thank me for my time because without me You wouldn't have met her You wouldn't have learned The reason you treated me one way But not her. So next comes the ring and everyone's eyes are magnetically glued But I was just the catalyst, the formula you needed to use And now I'm just evidence of what led her to you
