Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

Whoa

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them

And you know it makes me sick to be on that list

But I should've thought of that before we kissed

[Verse 2]

You say you're gonna burn before you mellow

I will be the one to burn you

Why'd you have to go and pick me?

When you knew that we were different, completely?

[Verse 3]

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

Whoa

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

Whoa

I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them

Whoa

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

[Verse 4]

And I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

But I should've thought of that before we kissed

[Verse 5]

Your wildness scares me, so does your freedom

You say you can't stand the restrictions

I find myself trying to change you

If you were meant to be my lover, I wouldn't have to

[Verse 6]

And I feel so mean

I feel in between

'Cause I'm about

Give you away

[Verse 7]

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

For someone else to take

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

Am I making a mistake?

I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them

All the time that we spent

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

[Verse 8]

And I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

But I should've thought of that before we kissed

And I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

But I should've thought of that before we kissed

[Verse 9]

I'm about to give you away for someone else to take

I'm about to give you away for someone else to take

[Verse 10]

We keep repeatin' mistakes for souvenirs

And we've been in between the days for years

And I know that when I see you, I'm going to die

I know I'm gonna want you and you know why

It's going to kill me to see you with the next girl

'Cause I'm the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl

[Verse 11]

But I should've thought of that before we kissed

[Verse 12]

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

Whoa

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

Whoa

I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them

All the time that we spent

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

[Verse 13]

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

But I should've thought of that before we kissed

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

But I should've thought of that before we kissed
