All Your Exes
Julia Michaels Lyrics

I know where you've been, what you've done
I know about your past and all the things that you've gone through.

Who you loved is a part of who you are
Your past relationships have shaped you and are a part of your identity.

But that maturity ship sails when I hold you in my arms
Despite understanding that your past relationships have made you who you are, it still makes me uncomfortable and immaturely jealous when I'm with you.

There's a spot on your chest just for me, it's personally addressed
Even though you've loved others before, there's a special place on your body where you reserve love for me.

And anyone there before me should be a criminal offence
I am possessive and jealous, and the thought of anyone else touching or loving you makes me angry.

When your friends tell stories about 2017
When your friends bring up stories from the past, especially from the year 2017.

I know there's parts that they leave out to be considerate of me
I am aware that your friends choose not to mention some things in front of me so as not to upset me about your past.

Wish I could be blissfully unaware of where you used to put your mouth
I wish I could forget about all the people you've kissed before me.

And who you write your fucking songs about
I am jealous of anyone you've written songs about in the past, as it makes me feel like I'm in competition with them.

I want to live in a world where all your exes are dead
I wish I could erase your past relationships completely, as they make me uncomfortable and jealous.

I want to kill all the memories that you save in your head
I wish I could erase all the memories of your past relationships that you still hold onto in your mind.

Be the only girl that's ever been in your bed
I want to be the only person you've ever been intimate with.

I want to live in a world where there's no exes at all
I wish you had never had any past relationships and that I was the first person you ever loved.

Like you were waiting for me to be the first thing you fall for
I wish it was as if you were always waiting for me and that I was the first person you ever loved.

Please don't tell me if I accidentally stumble
If I accidentally come across something from your past, please don't tell me about it.

Into something that reminds you of her
Something that brings up a memory of one of your past relationships.

No, I don't need your previous logistics
I don't want to know the details or specifics of your past relationships.

Where you spent your last Christmas
I don't want to know where you spent time with your ex on holidays or special occasions.

Spare your past life specifics, oh
Please spare me any details about your life before me.

And when your friends tell stories about 2023
When your friends bring up stories from the future, especially from the year 2023.

I hope they hardly can recall there was a you without a me
I hope that in the future, when people talk about you, they only remember you with me and forget about your past relationships.

Wish I could be blissfully unaware of the history in your couch
I wish I could forget about all the people you've had intimacy with in your past, and that I wasn't constantly reminded of it.

And who your songs all used to be about
I am jealous of anyone you've written songs about in the past, as it makes me feel like I'm in competition with them.

Don't tell me to make nice, that I should try to empathize
Don't try to make me be understanding or tolerant of your past relationships.

I'm confident I've got them accurately demonized
I already have negative feelings towards your past relationships and don't need any encouragement to feel more negatively about them.

You tell me not to worry, I'm the only thing you see
Even though I worry and feel jealous about your past relationships, you assure me that I'm the only person you love and care about now.

Well, yeah, I fucking better be
I am possessive and jealous, and it's important to me that I'm the only person you love.
