Thought I'd end up with Sean

But he wasn't a match

Wrote some songs about Ricky

Now I listen and laugh

Even almost got married

And for Pete, I'm so thankful

Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Malcolm

'Cause he was an angel

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

So, look what I got

Look what you taught me

And for that, I say

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Yeah

Spend more time with my friends

I ain't worried 'bout nothin'

Plus, I met someone else

We havin' better discussions

I know they say I move on too fast

But this one gon' last

'Cause her name is Ari

And I'm so good with that (So good with that)

She taught me love

She taught me patience

How she handles pain

That shit's amazing

Say I've loved and I've lost (Yeah, yeah)

But that's not what I see (Yeah, yeah)

'Cause look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)

Ain't no need for searching

And for that, I say

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Yeah

One day I'll walk down the aisle

Holding hands with my mama

I'll be thanking my dad

'Cause she grew from the drama

Only wanna do it once, real bad

Gon' make that shit last

God forbid something happens

Least this song is a smash

I've got so much love

I've got so much patience

I've learned from the pain

I've turned out amazing

Say I've loved and I've lost (Yeah, yeah)

But that's not what I see (Yeah, yeah)

'Cause look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)

Ain't no need for searching

And for that, I say

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Yeah
