verse 1
you said we should take a break
and I respect the courage it takes
to say that to the man that I was

i forgot your birthday
because I was with your best friend
helping fix her car's backseat

pre-chorus
they say that time heals all wounds
well hey, I'm healed, so how bout you?
let's close chapter one and start on two

chorus
be my ex ex
girlfriend yeah let's
see if we can get this right

replay regrets
retrace missteps
maybe we won't blow it this time

be my ex ex

verse 2
I could have been a little kinder
didn't know that you had minded
My tough guy rhetoric

There were a lot of tears, I guess
And I wish they'd happened less
We're just so sensitive

pre-chorus
they say that time heals all wounds
well hey, I'm healed, so how bout you?
let's close chapter one and start on two

chorus
be my ex ex
girlfriend yeah let's
see if we can get this right

replay regrets
retrace missteps
maybe we won't blow it this time

be my ex ex

bridge
these days we've been apart
I swear I’ve learned to speak my heart
I’m ready now to let it show
so won’t you give this guy one more go?
I promise you’ll see a softer side
if only you’ll be my...

ex ex girlfriend

chorus
be my ex ex
girlfriend yeah let's
see if we can get this right

replay regrets
retrace missteps
maybe we won't blow it this time

if it's a mess
be my ex ex
ex ex I want you mine

skip the rebound
get back with me now
we'll break up again, but it's fine

be my ex ex
