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

Not bitter, better off
These ties we 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 ex's
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 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 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 ex's
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 can't be friends with my ex's

I can't be friends
I can't be friends with my ex's

I can't be friends
