"Exes" lyrics - 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

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
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

[Chorus:]
To all the exes
That I left behind
These words will fall short
But I must try

[Bridge:]
(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)

[Chorus:]
To all the exes
That I left behind
These words will fall short
But I must try
