Ex-Girlfriend

I envy how
Your lips wince to unfold her name
And I worry now
That she still makes you hesitate

I bet her (615)’s still favorited
Her love notes in your bedside drawer
Kicked up her gold bracelet
Your mom wears the scarf she embroidered

I, I can’t help feeling that
I’m somehow competing with your

Ex-girlfriend
Knows your kinks, loose ends
She built everything
That I see before my eyes
You insist it’s over
But therе’s no closure
When she’ll control you
On thе flip of a dime ’til I’m
The ex-girlfriend
The ex-girlfriend
The ex girlfriend

We make your bed
I wipe her fingerprints off your jazz records and I
Try to help you forget
I miss the mornings we spent like that

But I saw her in your family’s photo album
Homecoming, your graduation
I feel like a stranger crashing on her couch when she vacations

I, trust we got something special
So why do I feel second to your

Ex-girlfriend
Knows your kinks, loose ends
She built everything
That I see before my eyes
You insist it’s over
But there’s no closure
When she’ll control you
On the flip of a dime ’til I

Receive those little letters
Spelling my eviction
Let myself get settled
Like she never lived here
Wasted all my money
Mending what she’d broken
You let me get comfy
With the door wide open for your

Ex-girlfriend
Knows your weaknesses
Yeah she’s barging in
See it right before my eyes
Now you say we’re over
But there’s no closure
For me, when I know
You’ll call me the next time she is your

Ex-girlfriend
The ex-girlfriend
The ex-girlfriend
The ex-girlfriend
