Year Of The Ex

Year of the ex
Year of the ex

It's been a long three-sixty-five days
And I'm back where I started
And I know it's true what my friends say
But it's part of my process

Oh, because it goes like that, a relapse
To take me back and fill the cracks my heart has
So when I need a pick-me-up
I know it's one of them I'll be callin'

It was the year of the ex
Doing it over and over again
Which one of you's next?
'Cause deja vu feelin' like a friend
'Cause I'm scared to commit
I feel safe in the wreck of the bits
The year of the ex
The year of the ex
Doing it over and over again
Which one of you's next?
'Cause deja vu feelin' like a friend
'Cause a brief dose of them
The best medicine I can get
The year of the ex

I get a rush so sweet
When I see my phone and it's your name
Familiarity means he knows how to do it all my way

Oh, baby, goes like that, a relapse
I'm calling back, he's in the cab to my flat
Two minutes and it's like we're in a time warp
Before all of the heartbreak

It was the year of the ex
Doing it over and over again
Which one of you's next?
'Cause deja vu feelin' like a friend
'Cause I'm scared to commit
I feel safe in the wreck of the bits
The year of the ex
Ooh, the year of the ex
Doing it over and over again
Which one of you's next?
'Cause deja vu feelin' like a friend (oh)
'Cause a brief dose of them
The best medicine I can get
The year of the ex
(The year of the ex)

There's a method to my madness
I've had a lot of practice, hmm
There's a method to my madness
It's almost like I've planned it

It was the year of the ex
Doing it over and over again
Which one of you's next?
'Cause deja vu feelin' like a friend
'Cause I'm scared to commit
I feel safe in the wreck of the bits
The year of the ex
The year of the ex
Doing it over and over again
Which one of you's next?
'Cause deja vu feelin' like a friend
'Cause a brief dose of them
The best medicine I can get
The year of the ex
Oh, the year of the ex
