[Verse 1]
Thought I'd end up with him
But he wasn't a match
Wrote a song about
Now I listen and laugh
Probably never get married
But hey, who knows, maybe?
Wish I could say, thanks to my high school love
He really saved me
[Pre-Chorus]
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
Say I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
Look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say
[Chorus]
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Oh, thank you, next
I'm so fuckin'—
[Verse 2]
One day I might be a wife
One day I might be a mama
I'll be thanking my dad
'Cause I grew from the drama
Only wanna my love soo bad
Gon' make that shit last
God forbid something happens
At least my life is a blast
[Pre-Chorus]
I've got so much love
Got so much patience
I've grew from the pain
And turned out amazing
I've loved and I've lost
That's not what I see
Look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say
[Outro]
Thank you, next
Oh, thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thought I'd end up with him
But he wasn't a match
Wrote a song about
Now I listen and laugh
Probably never get married
But hey, who knows, maybe?
Wish I could say, thanks to my high school love
He really saved me
[Pre-Chorus]
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
Say I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
Look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say
[Chorus]
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Oh, thank you, next
I'm so fuckin'—

Oh, thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
