Exes - Bloc Party

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 (Try, try)

To all the exes

That I left behind

These words will fall short

But I must try
