Track: thank u, next

Lyrics
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 fucking grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking…

Spend more time with my friends
I ain't worried 'bout nothing
Plus, I met someone else
We having 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

She taught me love
She taught me patience
How she handles pain
That shit's amazing
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
'Cause look what I've found
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I say

Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking grateful for my ex

Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking…

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 got so much love
Got so much patience
I've learned from the pain
Turned out amazing
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
'Cause look what I've found
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I say

Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking grateful for my ex

Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Yeah
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Yeah
