I was kind, I was warm, I was patient

Sometimes you missed Natasha. 

All the nights that you cried when you're wasted

Hold your hand, rub your chest when you're anxious

You had really thought it was going to work out this time. You had your fair share of exes, but. . . You really thought that she was the one. The way that she fit in your arms, like the missing puzzle piece you had always been looking for. 

Helped you with the career you were making

Look at you, you're a star, I'm the reason

And now it hurt. You had helped her through the worst and now. . . You and her were nothing. Nothing. Like she had just forgotten that you two were anything but friends. 

That you're more confident, motivated

And you hated how lovable she was. Everything about her just made you love her more. And for a while, you had thought that she loved you back.

And honestly, your new girlfriend should thank me

For how it all worked out

But of course she didn't. She just moved right to the next person. 

I guess you're all grown up now

Do you think of me when you fuck her?

Do you use the moves, the ones we learned?

It's always the next person

Maybe her new girlfriend was better. You probably didn't treat her well enough. 

That gets the better version

'Cause baby, I loved you at your worst

You had been blinded by your love for her. You never saw it coming.

And I fixed your heart but mine still hurts

You never saw it coming when she broke up with you. 

And now some other person

Is gonna get the better version of you

Of you

We were young, we were dumb, we had issues

It was all just so crazy. You were in love, and then. . . She wasn't.

But I thought I could work on 'em with you

God knows that we tried, yeah, we tried so hard (So hard)

You had really just been as bad as her though, if not worse. She had softly explained why she had to break up with you, but you didn't listen. 

And I did the heavy liftin'

But she'll get a happy endin'

Now the credits are rollin', I played my part

You hated that you didn't hate her.

Do you think of me when you fuck her?

Do you use the moves, the ones we learned?

You hated that you couldn't hate her.

It's always the next person

That gets the better version

'Cause baby, I loved you at you worst

And I fixed your heart but mine still hurts

And nobody could ever replace her.

And now some other person

Is gonna get the better version of you

Of you, of you, of you

You were kind, you were warm, you were patient

One year. You had spent one year together. 

Helped me with the career I was makin'

The best year of you life. 

Look at me, I'm a star, you're the reason

She had appeared in your life and everything was better, brighter. 

And I think of you when I fuck her

And everything was still better and brighter in her aftermath. It still felt like she was about to walk into the room and sweep you up into her arms and kiss the sadness away. 

I use the moves, the ones we learned

 It was scary, moving on. But you were trying, and. . . That was really all you could do. 

It's always the next person

That gets the better version

'Cause baby, you loved me at my worst

And the heartbreak and the sadness was all worth it. You would do it again even if you knew what it would lead to. 

And you fixed my heart but the thing that hurts

Is now some other person

Is gonna get the better version

You loved her.

And now some other person

Is gonna get the better version of me

You loved her.
