Describe an ex with a song

This song tore me apart when it was sent to me and again when I realized it didn't mean anything. Now, it is the benchmark of how far I've come and not letting my emotions control me. I can listen to it for the beautiful, love-filled song that it is and appreciate and enjoy it without hurt.
 
I spent the last 45 minutes searching through my library to find the perfect song to describe my ex. I had a wonderful moment of realisation as I decided I was done searching... I don't have a song for my ex because I don't have strong positive or negative feelings towards him anymore. What a wonderful weight to feel lift from my heart 🖤

So here's a good breakup song, in my opinion.
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
🎶I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on drivin
g🎶

Except it's my fast car and I'll keep driving and paying all the bills and keep hoping for better 🖤
 
I used to sing this while hanging washing in the backyard, but usually when I pissed off at him for refusing to acknowledge how much he had going for him. If I had half the opportunities he had...


I used to finish that sentence with "I'd be so far ahead of where I am"

Now I finish it with "I wouldn't have the opportunities I have now."


 
When I separated from my ex I had the displeasure of having to turn the spare room/my sewing room into my bedroom. It was a horrid 8 months.

3 months after we separated, he and a friend of mine fucked in the bed I shared with him, while myself and our kids were home. Our daughter is young enough that she still often crawls into bed with he or I, and this toe rag bitch is the mother of one of my daughter's best friends. It made me sick to my stomach.

I found out recently through a mutual friend that he was still doing the toe rag as a drunken booty call. The toe rag considered it a semi serious relationship and was looking forward to their first anniversary. Oh and she was "a little bit in love with him

I had a chat with my ex "I'm saying this as a mate, not your ex wife. She thinks your serious and can't wait to celebrate your anniversary. Are you guys a thing?" "Oh god no!" "Again, a friend not your ex wife saying this, you need to end things with her. She's a bitch but don't lead her on. It's not cool." He agreed and not long afterwards told her how he saw things. She didn't take it well.

I often wonder if she hears this song and thinks of him. He would have never called her when sober. He didn't do much completely sober.

(I don't know why I preface some song choices like this)

 
I'm sort of with Adele on exes.

I wish nothing but the best for you (the rest of the song's a bit creepy and stalkery but I like this line a lot)

I've been lucky and never really emotionally fucked over, although I would put that down partly to an almost pathological lack of ego. You have to try really hard to hurt me and most people don't have that much evil in them.
 
Not a recent one, but this one has fit more than one time in my life.

"Catch a cab outside on Seventh Street
And the cars fly through the Bowery
I come to your door and I hear a moan
Then another voice
Oh Christ, she's not alone..."
