[Verse 1]
To think that I'm the kind of guy who ever could have kept her
Would be taking too much credit on myself
And seeing us together, you just knew that she'd look better
With somebody else

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And now she's gone, no-one's surprised
Least of all not me
I always knew that I was just a comfort
In her time of need

[Chorus]
Just a comfort
Just a comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort
Gave her comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need

[Verse 2]
You knew that we had plans for San Francisco in September
But I didn't see California in her eyes
And by the end of summer, someone made a better offer
You know, I'm not surprised
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just a quick goodbye, nobody's crying
No, nobody's crying
I always knew that I was just a comfort
In her time of need

[Chorus]
Just a comfort
Just a comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort
Gave her comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need

[Chorus]
Just a comfort
Just a comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort
Gave her comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need

[Chorus]
Just a comfort
Just a comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time
