My mumma told me that this could happen to me
That she would grow to be this beautiful woman but I just couldn't see
But I had my blinders on I was in my zone
And I hadn't thought of us in my head somehow it turned us off
And then I met her but she wasn't like you
And I dropped my head thinkin what did I do, oh man
I love you, girl
You love me, but I just couldn't see tomorrow
Baby, and I can't fall you
And I didn't see us through
Now I know in my heart you will always be, the greatest ex ever
Now I can't do a simple thing like fall asleep
Cause I can't close my eyes without a day without you in my dreams
Sometimes I call your phone, just to hear your tone
And I never say nothin' just a couple seconds to hear you breathin' then I'm gone
And shes not like you, can't help but to hold my head thinkin what did I do
I love you, girl
You love me, but I just couldn't see tomorrow
But I just couldn't see, tomorrow.
Baby, and I can't fall you
And I didn't see us through
Now I know in my heart you will always be, the greatest ex ever
