Lyrics of world's greatest ex by emlyn

Verse 1
Waiting room walls, eleven missed calls
Convincing myself this is ex-protocol
I promise he's sick as I text back my friend
And wipe off his secret tears as I hit sent

Pre-Chorus
We were no contact and I was on the right track
'Cause you can't turn loving someone off
You hit me out the blue and I'm not you
So I show up if it feels good or not

Chorus
I won't get a medal for "Chillest Girl Around"
I'm no good at settle or settling down
I wasn't the one too unstable to be
If you're "Mr. Reliable", why did you call me?
You might be the best one at letting us go
And I loved you too hard, that I lost you, I know
But open the "Guinness Book Of Records", you'll see
It says, "World's Greatest Ex" goes to me

Verse 2
Guess I'll always be your mother's favorite
You can't teach someone to love like me (Love like me)
You had me once, I hope you learn to savor it
When you find someone different than me

Pre-Chorus
'Cause now we're no contact, now I'm on the right track
But, you can't turn loving someone off
If you hit me out the blue, well, I'm not you
I show up if it feels good or not

Chorus
I won't get a medal for "Chillest Girl Around"
I'm no good at settle or settling down
I wasn't the one too unstable to be
If you're "Mr. Reliable", why did you call me?
You might be the best one at letting us go
And I loved you too hard, that I lost you, I know
But open the "Guinness Book Of Records", you'll see
It says, "World's Greatest Ex" goes to me

Bridge
What do I do when you still make me laugh?
What do I do with that? (What do I? What do I?)
How could I miss you? You broke up with me
But, how could I not? No, really? (Oh, oh, oh)

Chorus
I won't get a medal (I won't get a medal)
For "Chillest Girl Around" (Oh)
I'm no good at settle or settling down
I wasn't the one too unstable to be
If you're "Mr. Reliable", why did you call me?
You might be the best one at letting us go
And I loved you too hard, that I lost you, I know
But open the "Guinness Book Of Records", you'll see
It says, "World's Greatest Ex" goes to me
