Lyrics of Thank u, Next - Sondre Lerche

Thank u, Next (original)

Hadde troen på deg
Men det ble ikke oss
Slik jeg skrev om i sanger
Mine drømmer til tross
Jeg ble til og med gift
Da jeg var tjueto
Selv om det gikk som det måtte
Så beholder jeg troen
En var en mor
En var en kompis
En var en elsker
Som kan bli en søster
Har elsket og tapt
Men det er ikke poenget
For se alt jeg har
Se alt du ga meg
Derfor sier jeg
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare ømhet for min ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare
Ble noe rot med en venn
Og jeg mistet meg selv
Så jeg fant opp en annen
Som jeg ble til en kveld
For jeg trengte så veldig raskt
En som var der konstant
Til jeg skjønte hvem jeg var
Og jeg holdt fast i han
En var en bror
En var en stjerne
En var meg sjøl
Langt der i det fjerne
Har elsket og tapt
Men det er ikke poenget
For se alt jeg har
Jeg trenger ikke lete
Derfor sier jeg
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare ømhet for min ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare ømhet for min ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare
Plutselig skjedde noe stort
Større enn det jeg visste
Da jeg var god idiot
Og var nœr ved å miste deg
Så mye heller bare vœre her
Enn å leve i fortid
Eller love en fremtid
Som kanskje aldri når frem hit
Så mye ømhet
Med så mye glede
Med så mye takknemlighet
Jeg håper du ser det
Har elsket og tapt
Men det er ikke poenget
For se alt jeg har
Jeg trenger ikke si det
Men jeg synger likevel
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare ømhet for min ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare ømhet for min ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare ømhet for min ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Jeg har bare ømhet

(translation)

Had faith in you
But it was not us
As I wrote about in songs
My dreams notwithstanding
I even got married
When I was twenty-two
Even if it went as it had to
Then I keep the faith
One was a mother
One was a friend
One was a lover
Who can be a sister
Have loved and lost
But that's not the point
To see everything I have
See everything you gave me
That's why I say
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I only have tenderness for my ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I only have
Became a mess with a friend
And I lost myself
So I invented another
As I became one night
Because I needed it so very quickly
One who was there constantly
Until I realized who I was
And I held on to him
One was a brother
One was a star
One was myself
Far there in the distance
Have loved and lost
But that's not the point
To see everything I have
I do not have to look
That's why I say
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I only have tenderness for my ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I only have tenderness for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I only have
Suddenly something big happened
Bigger than I knew
When I was a good idiot
And was close to losing you
So much rather just be here
Than to live in the past
Or promise a future
Which may never get here
So much tenderness
With so much joy
With so much gratitude
I hope you see it
Have loved and lost
But that's not the point
To see everything I have
I do not have to say that
But I still sing
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I only have tenderness for my ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I only have tenderness for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I only have tenderness for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I just have tenderness
