my ex's best friend
blackbear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ayy
You know my ex
So that makes it all feel complicated, yeah
(It all seems complicated)
I read those texts
That you sent to yours but I'll never say it, yeah
(I'll never say)
You walked in my life at 2 AM
'Cause my boy's new girl is your best friend
Act like you don't see me, we'll play pretend
Your eyes already told me what you never said

Now we're in the back seat of the black car going home
When she asked me, "Is it wrong if I come up with you?"
We're both drunk on the elevator
When I kissed you for the first time in New York City, uh

I swear to God, I never fall in love
Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it
I swear to God, I never fall in love
I never fall in love but I can't get enough of it

First off, I'm not sorry
I won't apologize to nobody
You play like I'm invisible
Girl, don't act like you ain't saw me
Last year was a mess and how I acted was beyond me
But the past still revolves me
You text me, I ain't responding
But now shit's done changed
Go our separate ways
But look at this damage you did to me
I still want nothin' to do between you and me
Please, don't say nothing at all, sounds so true to me
We don't have nothing to say, hey

I swear to God, I never fall in love
Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it
I swear to God, I never fall in love
I never fall in love but I can't get enough of it
I swear to God, I never fall in love
Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it
I swear to God, I never fall in love
I never fall in love but I can't get enough of it

You know my ex
So that makes it all feel complicated, yeah
(It all seems complicated)
I read those texts




That you sent to yours but I'll never say it, yeah
(I'll never say)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "my ex's best friend" by blackbear explore the complicated feelings of two individuals who are attracted to each other, but are also linked through their exes. The singer admits that he knows the girl because she is his ex's best friend, which makes their situation all the more complicated. He reveals that he has seen texts she sent to her ex, but he chooses not to say anything about it. This creates a sense of tension and secrecy between them.


The song goes on to describe a moment when they are alone together, drunk, and riding in the backseat of a car. They both know what they want, but they pretend that everything is fine. The singer confesses that he never thought he would fall in love again, but this girl has changed everything. He is addicted to her and can't get enough. Later, he admits to the hurt that she caused him in the past, but also acknowledges that he is equally responsible for the mess they were in. Now he just wants to move on and forget the past.


The lyrics of the song portray a complex and emotional relationship between two people who are drawn to each other but are hesitant to pursue their feelings. The song beautifully captures the angst and pain of a complicated relationship, as well as the intense feelings that can arise from the attraction between two people.
