Saw the cliché when I sat at the bar
Ran from a fight, didn't make it far
She never listens, I was bendin' ears
Tryin' to justify me sittin' here, well
Some guy spoke up, Hey man, let me tell you what

Take it from an ex
Most girls ain't got no patience if you ain't up for changin'
Drinkin', smokin', comin', goin' out 'til three in the mornin'
Take every future good time with her and kiss it goodbye
Your dreams and your plans, woulda, coulda beens, white picket fence
Take it from an ex

And he said: I knew who you were when you sat down here
There wasn't any other empty chair
I heard you problems and I felt your pain
Didn't really wanna be your friend, but
Same story, same girl, different time in another world

Take it from an ex
That girl ain't got no patience, if you ain't up for changin'
Drinkin', smokin', comin', goin' out 'til three in the mornin'
Take every future good time with her and kiss it goodbye
Your dreams and your plans, woulda, coulda beens, white picket fence
Take it from an ex

He said: Don't be no fool, what I wouldn't give
To be in your shoes

Take it from an ex
Oh, take it from an ex

Take it from an ex
That girl ain't got no patience if you ain't up for changin'
Drinkin', smokin', comin', goin' out 'til three in the mornin'
Take every future good time with her and kiss it goodbye
Your dreams and your plans, woulda, coulda beens, any chance at kids
White picket fence, because she will
Take it from an ex

Take it from a
Drinkin', smokin', comin' goin' out 'til three in the mornin'
Ex
Take every single future good time with her and kiss it goodbye
