Called My Ex

Lyrics

I've been on dates in different cities Champagne nights, looking pretty Everybody trying to get my attention But nobody's making a connection One got money, one got fame One looked good but it felt the same They all came close for a minute or two Then I started seeing pieces of you And that's the problem... Every smile gets compared Every touch gets measured Every conversation ends With me remembering better [Pre-Chorus] I tried to leave your memory behind Buried it deep inside my mind But tonight it's pulling me back again And I fought it for as long as I could God knows I tried to be good But I finally gave in... [Chorus] So I called my ex... Didn't know what I was gonna say Just needed to hear your voice today I called my ex... After all this time apart You still got a key to my heart Maybe I shouldn't Maybe I should But every road I take Leads back to where you stood So I called my ex... And suddenly I didn't feel alone [Verse 2] I've been pretending I'm okay Posting smiles every day Everybody thinks I'm doing fine But they don't know what's on my mind I hear your name and I freeze Feel your ghost in every breeze And every man that tries to hold me close Makes me miss the one I miss the most It's crazy... How your memory still hits this hard Like a song playing in the dark And every note keeps pulling me Back into your arms [Pre-Chorus] I know the past ain't always right I know we had our share of fights But nobody loved me the way you did So when your name lit up my screen It felt like waking from a dream And I couldn't resist... [Chorus] So I called my ex... Didn't know what I was gonna say Just needed to hear your voice today I called my ex... After all this time apart You still got a key to my heart Maybe I shouldn't Maybe I should But every road I take Leads back to where you stood So I called my ex... And suddenly I didn't feel alone [Bridge] (Beat drops. Piano only.) Tell me... Do you ever think about me? Do I ever cross your mind? When you're lying there at midnight Do you wish we had more time? Tell me... Did you find somebody better? Did she love you like I do? Or are you sitting there wondering If I'm still missing you too? (Strings enter. Drums begin building.) Because every time I tried to move on Something kept pulling me back Every time I said your name was gone My heart said that's a fact... [Build-Up Chorus] (Drums heavier. Bass enters.) I called my ex... And every wall I built came down The second you made that sound I called my ex... And all the years disappeared When I heard you say, "You still here?" I called my ex... I called my ex... And suddenly all the missing pieces fit [Final Chorus – Full Instrumentation] (Huge drums, layered harmonies, powerful strings) I CALLED MY EX! And I don't care who judges me now I needed you and I figured it out I CALLED MY EX! 'Cause nobody else came close Nobody else knew me most I CALLED MY EX! After all this running around You're still the one my heart has found I CALLED MY EX! And hearing your voice again Felt like coming back to life! [Outro / Powerful Ending] (Music reaches its peak) Maybe some loves never die... Maybe some hearts never lie... Maybe no matter how far we run... We always know where home is... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You still got me... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You still got my heart... IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CALLED MY EXXXXXXXXXXX! (High note sustained as drums crash and harmonies soar) [Ad-libs] Still my favorite voice... Still my favorite love... Still the one I think of... Called my ex... Called my ex... And I never wanted that call to end... 🎵✨
