  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    My momma told me that this could happen to me (uh, uh)
    That he would grow up to be the sexy man, but
    Oh, I just couldn't see
    'Cause I didn't plan this alone
    Yeah, I was in my zone
    And had the thought of us in my head
    Somehow I turned this all off
    And then I met him and he wasn't you
    And then I dropped my head, thinking, what should I do?

    Oh, I, I loved you and you loved me
    And I just couldn't see tomorrow, baby
    And I cared for you and I didn't see us through
    Now I know in my heart you will always be
    The greatest ex ever (ever)

    Now I can't do a simple thing like fall asleep, oh
    'Cause I can't close my eyes without a day with you
    In my dreams, dreams
    Sometimes I call your phone just to hear your tone
    And I never say nothing
    Wait just like a couple of seconds
    To hear you breathe and then I'm gone
    But he's not like you
    Can't help but to hold my head again, what did I do?

    Oh, I, I loved you and you loved me
    And I just couldn't see tomorrow, baby
    And I cared for you and I didn't see us through
    Now I know in my heart you will always be
    The greatest ex ever (ever)

    And I know that it's all my fault, yeah (all my fault)
    And it would be a lie if I said you didn't cross my mind at all (at all)
    How do I erase my days? They're shaded in blue
    All of my love's for you

    Oh, I, I loved you and you loved me
    And I just couldn't see tomorrow, baby
    And I cared for you and I didn't see us through
    Now I know in my heart you will always be
    The greatest ex ever (ever, ever)
    The greatest ex ever, ever, ever
    The greatest ex ever, ever, ever
    The greatest ex ever, ever, ever
    The greatest ex ever, ever, ever
    The greatest ex ever, ever, ever
    The greatest ex ever, ever, ever Writer/s: Christopher A. Stewart, Terius Youngdell Nash
