Текст песни: The World's Best Ex Boyfriend + перевод

The song was a joy

By the end of the chorus

I was moved

I was changed

And I never got to hear the singer’s name

As I drove out of range

She had to go

See a few dozen things went wrong

Though a thousand

Others went right

And I know now what it was I meant to say

Instead of saying good night

I’ll be the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I will be sweet

I will be gracious

And the work I’ve done

Will be built upon

And talked about for ages

Our love was a temple

Our love was a brothel

Our voices were despondent

The deities wept

Who watched me try to build a monument

From the scraps that you left

I’ll be the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I will be gracious

I will play dumb

And the work I’ve done

Will be built upon

And discussed for years to come

The song was a joy

I’ve forgotten the chorus

I’ve forgotten the verses

In between

Like the water that I toweled off me is gone but

I am clean

I am the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I am a saint

I am a star

And the work I’ve done

Will be built upon

And admired from afar

And the work I’ve done

Will be built upon

And admired from afar

I’ll be the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I’ll be the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I’ll be the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I’ll be the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I am the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I am the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I am the world’s best ex-boyfriend

I am the world’s best ex-boyfriend
