Exes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you seek an explanation
Well, I'm afraid there is not one
See all I have are excuses
My daddy was a hunter and I am my father's son
There was a time for about two weeks
I swore you were the one
I thought I could tell you anything
You were more than a trick, you were more to me than all of it
To all the exes
That I left behind
These words will fall short
But I must try
Everything I was proud of
With everything that I'd done wrong
In your eyes, I was someone
With another history, another past
In the lobby of the ace hotel
You will not meet my eye
Secrets spilled on pillows shared
You were more than just slight, you were more to me than all of it
To all the exes
That I left behind
These words will fall short
But I must try
(Try! Try!)
But I must try
(Try! Try!)
But I must try
(Try! Try!)
But I must try
(Try! Try!)
But I must try
To all the exes
That I left behind
These words will fall short
But I must try
