Song Lyrics

If you seek 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
There was a time for about two weeks
I swore you were the one
Thought I could tell you anything
You were more than a trick, you were more to me than all of it

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
In the lobby of the Ace Hotel
You will not meet my eyes
Secrets spill on pillows shared
You were more than just light, you were more to me than all of it

To all the exes
That I left behind
These words will fall short
But I must try (try, try)

But I must try (try, try)
But I must try (try, try)
But I must try (try, try)

Ah
To all the exes (ah)
That I left behind (ah)
These words will fall short (ah)
But I must try
