ex i never had Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I haven't spoken to ya, haven't seen you in months
Too busy living so we fell out of touch
I didn't think I had to let you know we were done
We weren't together so how could we break up

[Pre-Chorus]
You got the chance to tell everybody your side
It's my turn to tell 'em mine

[Chorus]
You came to my place a couple of times
Got high and you slept over
Just a few days, just a few nights
You and I were never sober
If you wanted something more then you shoulda asked
Would you please stop acting like the ex I never had?
I'm checkin' my texts and readin' 'em back
We were cool, at least I thought so
Seein' all this and hearin' all that
We were good but I guess we're not though
It was never real enough for you to be mad
So why you out there acting like the ex I never had?

[Verse 2]
My friends would know about ya if it was really love
I only saw you when the sun wasn't up
Oh, it's never gonna matter what you say about us
Don't try to turn this into more than it was

[Chorus]
You came to my place a couple of times
Got high and you slept over
Just a few days, just a few nights
You and I were never sober
If you wanted something more then you shoulda asked
Would you please stop acting like the ex I never had?
I'm checkin' my texts and readin' 'em back
We were cool, at least I thought so
Seein' all this and hearin' all that
We were good but I guess we're not though
It was never real enough for you to be mad
So why you out there acting like the ex I never had?

[Pre-Chorus]
You got the chance to tell everybody your side
It's my turn to tell 'em mine

[Chorus]
(Yeah)
You came to my place a couple of times
Got high and you slept over
Just a few days, just a few nights
You and I were never sober
If you wanted something more then you shoulda asked
Would you please stop acting like the ex I never had?
I'm checkin' my texts and readin' 'em back
We were cool, at least I thought so
Seein' all this and hearin' all that
We were good but I guess we're not though
It was never real enough for you to be mad
So why you out there acting like the ex I never had?

What did LANY say about "ex i never had"?

I think most people on planet Earth have either had an experience where someone claimed to have been more involved with you than they really were, or you have a friend that has. It just feels like a big pop song. It has teeth to it. And it’s time that we have a little teeth. We’ve lived enough life and played enough shows and seen enough of the world. But what’s funny is that [the song] is Disney or Sesame Street compared to 99% of the songs on the radio.
