The Ex Lyrics

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

So I sat in my room for 27 days,
No she never called, I had something to...

    "Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
    My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
    My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!"

    Here is where the singer realized his girlfriend was no longer into him and his heart "turns black" as in he grew colder and the sky "turned gray" as in him being in a gloomy mood.

    "So I sat in my room for 27 days,
    No she never called, I had something to say!
    No she never called, I had something to say!
    I don't know much and I don't know how..."

    Here is where the singer is too depressed to leave his room and is waiting for some word from his ex girlfriend but she never called and he probably wants to apologize or try to get her back. He doesn't know what he could've done to get her to change is what the last line there means.

    "Why would she put me through such torture,
    I would have given my life for her,
    She was the one that knocked me over,
    Now I'm alone sitting on the corner"

    Here is where the singer explains how he was deeply hurt by her breaking up with him and is saying how he fell in love with his ex girlfriend by "she was the one that knocked me over" and "I would have given my life for her."

    "Well, I heard she's great and her new boyfriend's lame,
    She can go to hell I'll never be the same!
    She can go to hell I'll never be the same!"

    This is where the singer says his ex is getting along with her new boyfriend but he doesn't know what she sees in him and he thinks he's better. He'll "never be the same" as in being so spent after the break up and so heartbroken that he'll never heal completely.

    This song is about a past relationship that the lead singer (ben kowalewicz) had with a girl and how evil she was to him
