Exes Lyrics
[Intro: Tate McRae]
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
[Chorus: Tate McRae]
(Kiss-kiss-kiss-) Kisses to my exes who don't give a sh!t 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
[Verse 1: Tate McRae]
Happens еvery time
I don't mean, mеan 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
[Pre-Chorus: Tate McRae]
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
[Chorus: Tate McRae]
(Kiss-kiss-kiss-) Kisses to my exes who don't give a sh!t 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
[Post-Chorus: Tate McRae]
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—
[Verse 2: Tate McRae]
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
Breaking it all before it starts, making it all up in my head
But I just overshare 'bout things I never meant
[Pre-Chorus: Tate McRae]
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)
[Chorus: Tate McRae]
Kisses to my exes who don't give a sh!t 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)
But I still keep their number and their necklace, kisses to my exes
[Post-Chorus: Tate McRae]
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)
[Outro: Tate McRae]
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
Exes Lyrics Meaning
"Exes" by Tate McRae, the singer reflects on past relationships, acknowledging her own complexities and the tumultuous nature of love. The lyrics explore the cycle of breaking up and making up, with a mix of regret, self-awareness, and a hint of defiance. The title, "Exes," suggests a focus on former romantic partners, and throughout the song, Tate McRae navigates the emotional aftermath of these relationships.
[Verse 1]
In this section, Tate McRae reflects on the recurring pattern in her relationships, where she unintentionally becomes emotionally distant. The mention of burning bridges suggests a deliberate attempt to distance herself from others, perhaps as a defense mechanism. The repetition of the phrase "happens every time" indicates a sense of inevitability in her romantic endeavors.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus delves into the singer's self-perception, portraying herself as a challenging and elusive individual. The metaphor of being a "wild ride that never stops" and a "hard case they can't unlock" suggests a complexity that others find difficult to understand or unravel. There's an acknowledgment of caring, albeit not to the extent that might be expected.
[Chorus]
The chorus is a declaration of the singer's attitude toward her exes. She sends "kisses to her exes" who don't care about her, implying a detachment from the emotional baggage of past relationships. The cyclical nature of making up and breaking up is acknowledged, and there's a hint of defiance in keeping the exes' numbers and mementos.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus reintroduces the theme of change and unpredictability in relationships. The mention of changing one's mind like origami implies a fluid and adaptable nature, but also a certain fragility. The repeated apology for being loved and the comparison to origami suggest a sense of remorse and the folding and unfolding of emotions.
[Verse 2]
The second verse delves into the singer's internal conflict, expressing a desire to both go and leave, and make promises that are difficult to keep. There's a portrayal of uncertainty about personal desires and intentions, contributing to a cycle of confusion and misunderstanding in relationships.
[Outro]
The outro serves as a conclusion, where Tate McRae acknowledges her flaws and mistakes in past relationships. Despite the acknowledgment of having treated ex-partners poorly, there's a candid admission of selfishness and imperfection. The retention of exes' numbers and necklaces symbolizes the lasting impact of these relationships, despite their tumultuous nature.
