exes Lyrics

Oh, I'm sorry, sorry that you love me (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Changed my mind up like it's origami
Oh, I'm sorry, sorry that you love me (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Changed my mind up like it's origami

(Kiss-kiss-kiss-) kisses to my exes who don't give a shit about me
Kisses, kisses to the next ones who think they can live without me
We make up, then we break up, then they swear they'll never call me
But I still keep their number and their necklace, kisses to my exes

Happens every time
I don't mean, mean to be cold, but that's how I get, oh
Me and all my pride
Tryna burn down every damn bridge any time we can, and again

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a wild ride that never stops
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a hard case they can't unlock
And I, and I swear I care a lot, just not enough
Let's just say it is what it is and was what it was

(Kiss-kiss-kiss-) kisses to my exes who don't give a shit about me
Kisses, kisses to the next ones who think they can live without me
We make up, then we break up, then they swear they'll never call me
But I still keep their number and their necklace, kisses to my exes

Oh, I'm sorry, sorry that you love me (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Changed my mind up like it's origami
Oh, I'm sorry, sorry that you love me (oh-oh-oh)
Changed my mind up like it's ori-

Say, say I wanna go there, then I wanna leave
Make another promise that I can't keep
I don't ever know what I want, but that's what you want
If you're down, well, then don't blame me
Breakin' it all before it starts, makin' it all up in my head
But I just overshare 'bout things I never meant

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a wild ride that never stops
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a hard case they can't unlock
And I, and I swear I care a lot, just not enough
Let's just say it is what it is and was what it was (was)

Kisses to my exes who don't give a shit about me
Kisses, kisses to the next ones who think they can live without me (nah, nah)
We make up, then we break up, then they swear they'll never call me (yeah)
I still keep their number and their necklace, kisses to my exes

Oh, I'm sorry, sorry that you love me (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Changed my mind up like it's origami
Oh, I'm sorry, sorry that you love me (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Changed my mind up like it's origami (ha-ha)

Kisses to my exes, I know that I did you dirty
Little messed up, little selfish, we ain't married, I ain't thirty
Yeah, we hooked up, then we broke up, then I said you really hurt me
But I still got your number and your necklace, kisses to my exes

What is the Meaning of exes?

eureka profile

Welcome to the roller coaster of love and heartbreak, folks! 🎢💔 In "exes", Tate McRae masterfully paints a picture of a person who's not quite ready for commitment. She's a self-proclaimed "wild ride" - unpredictable and ever-changing, much like her mind that flips like origami. The song is an unapologetic kiss-off (or rather, a series of them) to her past lovers, acknowledging that she may have hurt them but also admitting she keeps mementos from each relationship. It's a candid confession of her own flaws in relationships; she's fickle, inconsistent and struggles with over-sharing. Yet there's an undercurrent of self-awareness throughout the song - she knows she can be difficult but isn't quite ready to change...yet. 😉🔓
