Exes

If you seek 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

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 eyes

Secrets spill on pillows shared

You were more than just light, 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)

Ah

To all the exes (ah)

That I left behind (ah)

These words will fall short (ah)

But I must try
