[Verse 1]
Thought l'd end up with one
Of the guys I grew up with
But then we grew apart
And now, it’s like we're nothing
I was with someone younger
But he wasn't a match
Sometimes it doesn’t work out
But I'm okay with that
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause one taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Like it's education
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
So, look where I've got
Look what it taught me
[Chorus]
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
Thank you
[Verse 2]
Spend more time with my friends
I ain't worried ’bout nothin'
Plus, I met someone else
We havin' better discussions
Now I put myself first
And that's not being selfish
I know that he’ll do the same
'Cause we're still young and we're learning
[Pre-Chorus]
So he taught me love
I taught him patience
And we handle pain
Like it's motivation
We've loved and we've lost
But that's not what I see
Look where we've got
Look what it taught me
[Chorus]
I say thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my—
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you
[Bridge]
Sometimes I get so scared
Of being lonely
'Cause I depend on
So many people around me
But I hope in the end that I'll see clearer
I'lI be thanking myself
Looking into the mirror
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause she taught me love
She taught me patience
And she handles pain
Cause she's so amazing
She loved and she lost
But that's not what I see
Look where she got
Learning for searching
[Chorus]
I'll say thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my myself
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you (Hm)
