Be My Next Ex

I've been through some heartbreak that I'll never forget
Memories on replay from times I wish didn't exist
Relationships for me don't seem to go right or the way that I'd wish
Would you like to be the girl to break my heart and become my next ex

Love is overpriced so tell me how much a beautiful nightmare costs? 
If we get our aim right maybe we could give it a fair shot
I'm scarred from some of the things I've been through 
I've been living a life that there's no dream to

I realised we only grow if we learn from where we fail
I'm too old and been through too much to believe in fairytales
I've found the strength to talk about what I used to be scared to tell
Love should be heaven, but my past has me prepared for hell

Maybe you're the one who can make my heart better
The chances are slim but maybe you're the girl I'll be with forever
Cupid shot his arrow, I don't know if I'm in his chosen men
But with the way I feel about you I'm ready to get my heart broke again

I've been through some heartbreak that I'll never forget 
Memories on replay from times I wish didn't exist
Relationships for me don't seem to go right or the way that I'd wish 
I want you to be the girl to break my heart and become my next ex
