Verse 1 I double-check my phone like five times a minute Write out a paragraph, then put a line through it I know I shouldn't think about the past Or wonder why good things never seem to last I sit on the edge of the bed in the dark Overthinking every little word, every spark 'Cause every time somebody gets too close to me I start building up a wall automatically Pre-Chorus I swear I’m working on my heavy heart Trying to heal before I tear another thing apart Yeah, I know I can be a handful to love 'Cause I’m still afraid of losing what I’m fond of Chorus I don’t wanna treat you like an ex Making you pay for the pain from the last text I don’t wanna leave you guessing what comes next 'Cause I’m stuck inside my head, feeling wrecked Yeah, I got a little history, got a little stress And sometimes I can be a damn mess But I don’t wanna treat you like an ex No, I don’t wanna treat you like an ex Verse 2 You hold my waist, ask me why I’m so quiet I say I’m fine, but inside it’s a riot It’s not your fault that somebody else lied Or made me feel like I had to keep it all inside You look at me like I’m the only one in the room And for a second, all my shadows start to fade out of view Pre-Chorus I swear I’m working on my heavy heart Trying to heal before I tear another thing apart Yeah, I know I can be a handful to love 'Cause I’m still afraid of losing what I’m fond of Chorus I don’t wanna treat you like an ex Making you pay for the pain from the last text I don’t wanna leave you guessing what comes next 'Cause I’m stuck inside my head, feeling wrecked Yeah, I got a little history, got a little stress And sometimes I can be a damn mess But I don’t wanna treat you like an ex No, I don’t wanna treat you like an ex Bridge (Soft vocal runs, warm strings swell) Pass me the key to your heart, let me breathe I’m trying to learn how to stay when I wanna leave 'Cause you deserve the real me, not the scars You deserve the daylight, not just the dark Mmm, yeah... Chorus I don’t wanna treat you like an ex Making you pay for the pain from the last text I don’t wanna leave you guessing what comes next 'Cause I’m stuck inside my head, feeling wrecked Yeah, I got a little history, got a little stress And sometimes I can be a damn mess But I don’t wanna treat you like an ex No, I don’t wanna treat you like an ex Outro (Fading electric piano and soft harmonies) Not like an ex, no... Just wanna love you right... Mmm, yeah.
