Lyric

Her Ex-Husband

[Intro]

Back then, everybody thought they knew

Exactly what was right

[Verse 1]

Right in the middle of the COVID mess

She came running from the city

Looking like she'd barely made it out alive

Like she was suspicious of the very air she breathed

The TV was screaming all day long

And the neighbors just nodded along

Everybody was watching everybody else

And somehow that just became normal

[Verse 2]

Right in the middle of all that noise

I was out laughing in the middle of a cornfield

Saying "it's all a lie" out loud

But really just hoping somebody was listening

Throwing around words like DNA and God

Lining 'em up like I knew something

But maybe I was just too scared

To admit I was scared

[Chorus]

Hey, who was right — I don't even care anymore

What's left is just the look on my face

When I thought I was better than someone

[Verse 3]

She'd left her husband behind

Didn't say much about it

Just "we weren't compatible" —

That one line doing all the heavy lifting

Heard he went out maskless, drinking

And I just ate it up

Decided right then I had him figured out

Made him the villain of her story

[Verse 4]

But if I'm being honest

I wasn't that different

Laughing it all off with the loudest voice in the room

Never really listening to a damn thing

Thought I was speaking the truth

But I just wanted to win

Pretending I was protecting somebody

When I was only protecting myself

[Chorus]

Hey, what were we even fighting back then?

The virus?

Or just the loneliness?

[Verse 5]

Fighting over the smallest things

Holding onto the dumbest grudges

Words got sharp as hell

And nothing was left after

Next thing I knew, the texts stopped coming

Now there's nothing but silence

The seasons just kept moving on their own

And the cornfield's still right where it was

[Final]

When I think about it clear-headed

I'm not so different from her ex

Never even met the guy

But I got a feeling we'd get along just fine

He probably wore the same look I did

Certain he was right about everything

And just tangled the whole thing up

Same as me

[Outro]

The wind's just blowing

Same as it always did
