[Spoken / Dry / Immediate Entry]
"Your ex was crazy.
Your boss was toxic.
Your friends were fake.
Your luck was bad.

Funny how the story always changes...
But you stay the same."

[Drums + guitar riff enter immediately]

[Verse 1]
Every town's got a version of your name,
Different faces, same old game.
You leave a mess then shift the blame,
Like smoke driftin' off your shame.

You tell it loud like gospel truth,
Every loss just proof of youth.
But if the world keeps lettin' you down,
Why you the only constant in every town?

[Pre-Chorus]
You point left,
You point right,
But never once look in your own life.

[Chorus]
If every ex was crazy,
Every friend was fake,
Every job was toxic,
Every heart a mistake—

Maybe it ain't the whole damn world,
Maybe it ain't bad luck huntin' ya.
Maybe after all these years,
You're the common denominator.

[Verse 2]
Different bar, same complaint,
Same old victim, new restraint.
You wear the blame like borrowed clothes,
But everybody already knows.

You talk like change is somethin' owed,
But you’re the one who set that road.
Every bridge behind you burned,
Still act surprised when tables turn.

[Pre-Chorus]
You shift the truth,
You bend the line,
But it always ends the same damn time.

[Chorus]
If every ex was crazy,
Every friend was fake,
Every job was toxic,
Every heart a mistake—

Maybe it ain't the whole damn world,
Maybe it ain't bad luck huntin' ya.
Maybe after all these years,
You're the common denominator.

[Bridge – Spoken / Filtered / No Instrument Drop]

Let’s run it back.

Ex was the problem.

Boss was the problem.

Friends were the problem.

Family was the problem.

Strangers were the problem.

At some point...
The pattern stops being coincidence.

[Instrumental lift — immediate return, no silence]

[Final Chorus – ONE TIME ONLY]
If every ex was crazy,
Every friend was fake,
Every job was toxic,
Every heart a mistake—

Maybe it ain't the whole damn world,
Maybe it ain't bad luck huntin' ya.

Maybe after all these years,
You're the common denominator.

Yeah...

You're the one constant in every breakdown.

[Outro – Spoken / Dry / Immediate fade]
"I stopped keeping score.
You were always the answer."

[Slide guitar fade — no vocals]
