You got the chance to tell everybody your side It's my turn to tell 'em mine You came to my place a couple of times Got high and you slept over Just a few days, just a few nights You and I were never sober If you wanted somethin' more, then you should've asked Would you please stop actin' like the ex I never had? I'm checkin' my texts and readin' 'em back We were cool, at least I thought so Seein' all this and hearin' all that We were good, but I guess we're not, though It was never real enough for you to be mad So why you out there actin' like the ex I never had? My friends would know about ya if it was really love I only saw you when the sun wasn't up, oh It's never gonna matter what you say about us Don't try to turn this into more than it was You came to my place a couple of times Got high and you slept over Just a few days, just a few nights You and I were never sober If you wanted somethin' more, then you should've asked Would you please stop actin' like the ex I never had? I'm checkin' my texts and readin' 'em back We were cool, at least I thought so Seein' all this and hearin' all that We were good, but I guess we're not, though It was never real enough for you to be mad So why you out there actin' like the ex I never had?

I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had You know I was just a little out of my league I guess that I was wilder than you wanted to be I tried to hide the devil that was hidin' in me But you saw right through it all Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad? I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had And I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had Never had your heart (never had your heart) Never had your love (never had your love) And I never had a chance to tell you Why I was itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had
