Still In Love With My Ex

Kelly Rowland · Ms. Kelly [2007]

I never thought that we would break up for the better

Should we never made the promises to each other

So many things I should have said, that you didn't know

Coming in from a past, with a heavy load

But I knew that you were a good man

Give you love, You were faithful, and IT showed on my hand

I know there are questions in your mind, you don't understand

With the words of this song I wanna answer them



Honesty, check

Conversation, check

A shoulder I could lean on, anytime I'm feeling stressed, check

Good loving, yes

The perfect soldier, yes

Was about to say I do

When I know I was a mess so I



Searching my mind trying to figure it out

Thought I was happy

But I'm having some doubts

Think about the answer

And I know I must confess

I'm still in love with my ex



And I wasn't ready when I said that I loved you

And in my heart I know that I gotta tell you

I shouldn't have gone from the situation to the next

I'm still in love with my ex



Every moment that I stayed, I dug a deeper hole

I was with you, but my heart wouldn't let em go

All my family told me: Kelly he's the one for you

I know your family loves me, and I love em too

I'm so sorry for the pain that I put you through

But you shouldn't have to suffer, cause I'm confused

So much for looking forward to future plans

Lost the love of my life, and I lost a friend



Good to me, yes

Security, yes

You were all the things I wanted to check

and everything, check

You were confident, yes

Romantic man, yes

How could I have said I do

When I know I was a mess so I



Searching my mind trying to figure it out (figure it out)

I thought I was happy

But I'm having some doubts (having some doubts)

Think about the answer

And I know I must confess (I must confess)

I'm still in love with my ex (still in love)



And I wasn't ready when I said that I loved you (said that I loved you)

And in my heart I know that I gotta tell you

I shouldn't have gone from the situation to the next

I'm still in love with my ex (still in love)



Silence



I've gotta own this

(I've gotta own this)



I can't believe I'm saying this

Saying sorry is the hardest part



Searching my mind trying to figure it out

I thought I was happy

But I'm having some doubts

Think about the answer

And I know I must confess

I'm still in love with my ex



And I wasn't ready when I said that I loved you

And in my heart I know that I gotta tell you

I shouldn't have gone from the situation to the next

I'm still in love with my ex
