Exes Lyrics - Hymns - Bloc Party

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
