Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You couldn’t even make it Two Fridays in a row Said you were “just real busy” Guess I was last to know You slipped out through a back door Into some stranger’s truck Didn’t even send a message Just left me with my luck [Pre-Chorus] Thought it might’ve been something Now it’s barely a line in my mind You hurt me, but only briefly Like a splinter I don’t need to find [Chorus] I’m glad we didn’t work out Glad I never learned your favorite songs Didn’t waste a couple years Tryna fix what’s always wrong You left me for another Couldn’t say it to my face somehow Yeah you cut me, but you missed deep And it only hurts me now and then now So I’m glad we didn’t work out [Verse 2] I don’t know your middle name Or the town where you were born Didn’t meet your mama Didn’t buy that diamond worn You were just a quick detour On my way to something real Funny how a two-week story Showed me what I really need to feel [Chorus] I’m glad we didn’t work out Glad I never learned your favorite songs Didn’t waste a couple years Tryna fix what’s always wrong You left me for another Couldn’t say it to my face somehow Yeah you cut me, but you missed deep And it only hurts me now and then now So I’m glad we didn’t work out [Bridge] Some pains grow roots This one blew through like rain (oh) You’re just a name in my phone That I’ll never save again [Chorus] I’m glad we didn’t work out Glad I never learned your favorite songs Didn’t promise you forever Just to watch it all go wrong You ran off with another Didn’t have the guts to stick around Yeah you hurt me, but only briefly I’m the lucky one somehow Yeah I’m glad we didn’t work out

country, Modern country ballad with male vocals; gentle acoustic guitar and brushed drums in the verses, warm pedal steel swells in the pre-chorus. Chorus opens up with steady kick, harmony stacks on the hook and a bright, singalong feel. Subtle organ pad in the bridge to thicken the midrange, final chorus pulls back on the last line for a quiet, resigned finish.
