Friends with My Exes

I saw one on a train Staring me down face to face Convinced myself it was fate Or some subliminal message Yeah, one married my friend One tried to hit it again And it sounded like a good idea Then blew up Armageddon No, not bitter, better off These ties we've gotta cut It's just taking up space In a broken place where love once was Some people can but I can't be friends with my exes When you say it's the end How can we start over? Done learning lessons No, this is for my protection Good for you if you can But I just can't go there I can't be friends Some people putting up fences I'd rather build a brick wall This isn't passive aggressive I just don't want you to call I lose a piece of my heart Every time that I fall So now I'm saving what's left Before there ain't nothing at all Not bitter, better off These ties we've gotta cut It's just taking up space In a broken place where love once was Some people can but I can't be friends with my exes When you say it's the end How can we start over? Done learning lessons No, this is for my protection Good for you if you can But I just can't go there I can't be friends (I-I) I can't be friends with my exes (I can't be friends) I can't be friends (I-I) I can't be friends with my exes I can't be friends
