Bones Break
Exes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you didn't want what I wanted
Why'd you let it get so far?
You knew I was heavy-hearted
Marching in the dark
And all your secret's keeping you up
While you're driving in your car
You knew, but you told me to keep looking at the stars
You say
I'm not the one for you
I won't stay
Baby, I wish that you told the truth
Someday
I'll be the one for you
When it's too late
Is it too late?

I'd rather feel my bones break
I'd rather feel the cold rain hit my face
You know I loved you like a heartache
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break

When you're on the road
Do you miss the way we talk after your show?
Alone, is it better now my name's not on your phone?
And all I know is I miss the way you close your eyes and sing
I'm home, but I don't even know if you're listening

You say
I'm not the one for you
I won't stay
Baby, I wish that you told the truth
Someday
I'll be the one for you
When it's too late
Is it too late?

I'd rather feel my bones break
I'd rather feel the cold rain hit my face
You know I loved you like a heartache
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break
For you
How my bones break
For you
How my bones break
For you
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break

And I won't tell you, but I love you still
And I won't tell you, but I love you still

I'd rather feel my bones break
(Bones break)
I'd rather feel the cold rain hit my face
You know I loved you like a heartache
(Heartache)
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break
(Bones break, bones break)
For you
How my bones break
For you
How my bones break
(Bones break, bones break)
For you
I wish you were here




To see my dear
How my bones break

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of EXES's song Bones Break speak about the pain of unrequited love, and the yearning for someone who may not feel the same way. The singer addresses their former love interest, asking why they let things go so far if they didn't want the same things. The person's secrets are keeping them up at night, but the singer has been left in darkness, keeping their eyes on the stars. The chorus speaks of the pain the singer would rather feel in order to forget about their love, wishing that the person they long for could feel it too.


In the second verse, the singer questions their former love's behavior after they parted ways. They wonder if the person still thinks of them when they're on the road, singing alone. The singer misses the way they used to connect, but they don't know if the other person is listening anymore. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the brutal pain the singer would rather feel in order to forget about their love.


The song closes with the singer's silent confession of their continued love for the other person. They would rather feel the agony of breaking bones than the emptiness of unrequited love. The lyrics are poignant and raw, capturing the heartache of unrequited love and the pain that the singer would rather feel than the loneliness of losing their love.

If you didn't want what I wanted
Why'd you let it get so far
You knew
I was heavy-hearted marching in the dark
And all your secrets keeping you up
While you're driving in your car
You knew
But you told me to keep looking at the stars

You say, "I'm not the one for you"
"I won't stay"
Baby I wish that you told the truth
Someday I'll be the one for you
When it's too late
Is it too late?

I'd rather feel my bones break
I'd rather feel the cold rain hit my face
You know I loved you like a heart ache
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break


When you're on the road
Do you miss the way we'd talk after your show
Alone
Is it better now my name's not on your phone
And all I know is I miss the way you'd close your eyes and sing
I'm home
But I don't even know if you're listening

You say, "I'm not the one for you"
"I won't stay"
Baby I wish that you told the truth
Someday I'll be the one for you
When it's too late
Is it too late?

I'd rather feel my bones break
I'd rather feel the cold rain hit my face
You know I loved you like a heart ache
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break
For you
How my bones break
For you
How my bones break
For you
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break


And I won't tell you but I love you still
And I won't tell you but I love you still

I'd rather feel my bones break
I'd rather feel the cold rain hit my face
You know I loved you like a heart ache
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break
For you
How my bones break
For you
How my bones break
For you
I wish you were here
To see my dear
How my bones break
