The Xs on my eyes (XX) are a clue, I’m now dead (XX)
These twenty (XX) years I spent loving you, you’ll forget (XX)
I didn’t see the writing, didn’t see the writing, the graffiti (XX) on the wall
The extra extra (XX) read about it news, it’s all red

Did I always know the way this would end?
A relationship we’d barely defend?
No

This may be small, but here is what I miss
All your little notes, signed with a double kiss (XX)

Those exes (XX) from my past told the truth, I’d fall flat
And twenty (XX) years on I have no excuses (XX), we were trapped
I didn’t see the writing, didn’t see the writing, the graffiti (XX) on the wall
I stared at lying in bed next to you, our time passed

Did I always know the way this would end?
A relationship we’d barely defend?
No

This may be small, but here is what I miss
All your little notes, signed with a double kiss (XX)

For many months it got worse (X) and worse (X)
A kind of poison (XX), coming on like a curse (XX)
What I recall was wondering how we’re hurt
And after all this, did I get what I deserved?

Did I always know the way this would end?
A sinking ship that we would abandon?
No

This may be small, but here is what I miss
All your little notes, signed with a double kiss (XX)
So hard to believe, that there’s nothing left
I signed my last note, with a heart and a double X (XX)

verse 1
you said we should take a break
and I respect the courage it takes
to say that to the man that I was

i forgot your birthday
because I was with your best friend
helping fix her car's backseat

pre-chorus
they say that time heals all wounds
well hey, I'm healed, so how bout you?
let's close chapter one and start on two

chorus
be my ex ex
girlfriend yeah let's
see if we can get this right

replay regrets
retrace missteps
maybe we won't blow it this time

be my ex ex

verse 2
I could have been a little kinder
didn't know that you had minded
My tough guy rhetoric

There were a lot of tears, I guess
And I wish they'd happened less
We're just so sensitive

pre-chorus
they say that time heals all wounds
well hey, I'm healed, so how bout you?
let's close chapter one and start on two


chorus
be my ex ex
girlfriend yeah let's
see if we can get this right

replay regrets
retrace missteps
maybe we won't blow it this time

be my ex ex


bridge
these days we've been apart
I swear I’ve learned to speak my heart
I’m ready now to let it show
so won’t you give this guy one more go?
I promise you’ll see a softer side
if only you’ll be my...

ex ex girlfriend


chorus
be my ex ex
girlfriend yeah let's
see if we can get this right

replay regrets
retrace missteps
maybe we won't blow it this time

skip the rebound
get back with me now
we'll break up again, but it's fine

be my ex ex
