Exless by Kate Stephenson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't know why
But I'm feeling like
I need to scream on the highway
Windows down
In the middle of winter
Miss family dinner
But it's not like
There'd be much on my plate anyway
"Why'd you have to leave?"
Or "Why did you cheat?"
Shout something cathartic
Or borderline pathetic
Write it out and send it
Hope that you don't get it
But it's not like I have much to say anyway
No, it's not like I have much to say anyway
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't have an ex
I don't have a one that got away
And I always forget, oh
That I can't count the boys I didn't date
So why do I feel this way
When I don't have an ex
[Verse 2]
I don't know why
It's been on my mind
I've never not been lonely
It's not like I
Haven't had a few heartbreaks
More than I've had dates
But I just want to love before I lose
And I know I'm young
Got nothing but time
But I'm only growing older
And I wanna invest in
Something I'll regret is
That a big request
'Cause I just want to play the radio
And shout about a feeling that I know
[Chorus]
But I don't have an ex
I don't have a one that got away
And I always forget, oh
That I can't count the boys I didn't date
So why do I feel this way
When I don't have an ex
[Bridge]
'Cause I thought it'd be you
To break my heart if you had to
Would have let it slide if I had
Got to call you mine
But instead I'm on my own
Back to what I'm used to
Without you
'Cause I thought it'd be you
To break my heart if you had to
Would have let it slide if I had
Got to call you mine
But instead I'm on my own
Back to what I'm used to
Without you
And I might be a mess
What did I expect?
[Outro]
When I don't have a one that got away
And I always forget, oh
That I can't count the boys I didn't date
Why do I feel this way?
When I don't have an ex
I don't know why
But I'm feeling like
I need to scream on the highway
Windows down
In the middle of winter
Miss family dinner
But it's not like
There'd be much on my plate anyway
"Why'd you have to leave?"
Or "Why did you cheat?"
Shout something cathartic
Or borderline pathetic
Write it out and send it
Hope that you don't get it
But it's not like I have much to say anyway
No, it's not like I have much to say anyway
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't have an ex
I don't have a one that got away
And I always forget, oh
That I can't count the boys I didn't date
So why do I feel this way
When I don't have an ex
[Verse 2]
I don't know why
It's been on my mind
I've never not been lonely
It's not like I
Haven't had a few heartbreaks
More than I've had dates
But I just want to love before I lose
And I know I'm young
Got nothing but time
But I'm only growing older
And I wanna invest in

I don't have a one that got away
And I always forget, oh

[Bridge]
'Cause I thought it'd be you

[Outro]
When I don't have a one that got away
And I always forget, oh
That I can't count the boys I didn't date
