The Beaches - Blame My Ex Lyrics






Blame Brett

Done being the sad girl
I'm done dating rock stars
From now on only actors
Tall boys in the Raptors
I'll become an asshole
Disguised as a bad girl
In my button-up shirt
A natural disaster, hey

You could be my baby, baby, baby
You could be my baby boy, they, lady
You could be my baby, baby, maybe, uh-oh

I'm sorry in advance
I'm only gonna treat you bad
I'm probably gonna let you down
I'm probably gonna sleep around
So sorry in advance
Before you take off your pants
I wouldn't let me near your friends
I wouldn't let me near your dad

But don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
Don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex

That's why I won't get vulnerable
Don't you dare get comfortable
Heartbreak is impossible
Feelings doing summersaults
I'm not ready for therapy
To take accountability
Right now it's about me
Me and only 'bout me, hey

You could be my baby, baby, baby
You could be my baby boy, they, lady
You could be my baby, baby, maybe, uh-oh

I'm sorry in advance
I'm only gonna treat you bad
I'm probably gonna let you down
I'm probably gonna sleep around
So sorry in advance
Before you take off your pants
I wouldn't let me near your friends
I wouldn't let me near your dad

But don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
Don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
I'm only in it for the sex
That's why I'm never gonna love again

I'm only in it for the sex
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
Don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
Don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Paranoid

I think I'm becoming a conspiracy theorist
Everyone says that love exists
But I think that it's a myth
Closed the curtains, cried all Thursday night to your lyrics
God I don't mean to reminisce
Empty the bottle and get pissed
'Cause I know it all comes rushing back like this

What doesn't kill you makes you paranoid
What doesn't kill you makes you feel like your love ain't shit
Ran up the minutes on my inner voice
She loves to bring up all my issues, God she's a bitch
And now I'm like
Why are they staring? Am I oversharing?
I'm so embarrassing
What doesn't, what doesn't
What doesn't kill you, what doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes you paranoid

I think I'm becoming some kind of validation fiend
Cut my hair cause I needed a fix
Of an acquaintance's compliments
I must have left my self-esteem at the base of your bedsheets
Where I used to leave my socks
Well, I miss that girl a lot
Well, she's just brand new and unimproved, I guess

What doesn't kill you makes you paranoid
What doesn't kill you makes you feel like your love ain't shit
Ran up the minutes on my inner voice
She loves to bring up all my issues, God she's a bitch
And now I'm like
Why are they staring? Am I oversharing?
I'm so embarrassing
What doesn't, what doesn't
What doesn't kill you, what doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes you paranoid

What doesn't kill you makes you paranoid
What doesn't kill you makes you feel like your love ain't shit
Ran up my minutes on my inner voice
She loves to bring up all my issues, God she's a bitch
And now I'm like
Why are they staring? Am I oversharing?
I'm so embarrassing
What doesn't, what doesn't
What doesn't kill you, what doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes you paranoid

What doesn't, what doesn't
What doesn't kill you, what doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes you paranoid
What doesn't, what doesn't
What doesn't kill you, what doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes you paranoid

Me & Me

I know a girl who spent a year and a half crying in the bottom of a bathtub
It was really such a bad look
Then on New Year's Eve, someone yelled 10, 9, 8
Everybody kissed then she punched them in the face, ooh

'Cause everybody's gotta find somebody, that's the point in every movie
You don't wanna end up like a sad spinster
Just wasting away
Find yourself a mister
Yeah, that's what they say
That's what they say

That sounds pretty shitty
And I'm pretty pretty
Sexy in the city
Save your pity, bitch
It's kinda fun just

Me and me
Table for me and me
Hanging with me and me
Finally free
Won't waste my life
Self-loathing
Happy I'm going home with me and me
I don't care, get out my face if you don't like it

Asking for a friend

If I go twenty-seven years with someone who treats me like shit
Instead of going out with my girls f*ckin' L-I-V-I-N
Is it really such a sin?
Is it really not a win?

'Cause I'd rather be dead
Than with 99% of all men
When I'm with myself, it's honestly zen
Might as well be my girlfriend

It's kinda fun just

Me and me
Table for me and me
Hanging with me and me
Finally free
Won't waste my life
Self-loathing
Happy I'm going home with me and me

Me and me
Table for me and me
Hanging with me and me
Finally free
Won't waste my life
Self-loathing
Happy I'm going home with me and me

I don't care, get out my face if you don't like it
I don't care, get out my face if you don't like it

Everything Is Boring

I just zoned
You were telling me about your dreams
No one cares about your dreams
It's one of those days
I can't even watch TV
Trying to fill a void in me
This silence kills me
It's like nothing thrills me
Doctor, please, just pill me
So I can feel something

Everything is boring
Wake up and I'm snoring
I think I could die right here, right now
Everything is boring
That or just annoying
I swear I'm just watching life go down

It's raining, it's pouring
Everything is boring
It's raining, it's pouring
Everything is boring

I just zoned out
I was thinking about girls supporting other girls
Then I woke up in a meeting with a bunch of random dudes
Telling me what I should do
The notion kills me
It's like nothing thrills me
Doctor, please, just pill me
So I can feel something

Everything is boring
Wake up and I'm snoring
I think I could die right here, right now
Everything is boring
That or just annoying
I swear I'm watching life go down

Sinking deeper and deeper and deeper into the couch
I found some coins down here
I'm rich, maybe I should go out
Sinking deeper and deeper and deeper into the ground
I think I just found my heart down here
From when you stomped it out

Everything is boring
Wake up and I'm snoring
I think I could die right here, right now
Everything is boring
That or just annoying
I swear I'm just watching life go down
Everything is boring
Wake up and I'm snoring
I think I could die right here, right now
Everything is boring
That or just annoying
I swear I'm just watching life go down

It's raining, it's pouring
Everything is boring
It's raining, it's pouring
Everything is boring
It's raining, it's pouring
Everything is boring
It's raining, it's pouring
Everything is boring

My Body ft Your Lips

I'm so tired of falling in love
Pull my hair and rip my clothes off
Rub my lipstick in on my cheek and call me Mandy
I'll bring home the money and you bring the drugs
Know you like to party like it's 2001
Light me up a fashion girl cigarette
I'll pour a brandy

Ooh, I wanna be your bitch
I wanna taste your spit
I wanna be your bitch
Leave a mark on my innocence

My body featuring your lips, your lips
My body featuring your lips, your lips

Tell me what you're thinking when I'm feeling myself
I'll watch you in the shower playing show and tell
See you in a fantasy with somebody else
It's so sleazy, please, don't delete me

Ooh, I wanna be your bitch
I wanna taste your spit
I wanna be your bitch
Leave a mark on my innocence

My body featuring your lips, your lips
My body featuring your lips, your lips (I wanna taste your spit)
My body featuring your lips, your lips
My body featuring your lips
Leave a mark on my innocence

Kismet

Two, three
We were written in the stars, pulled a lover's tarot card
Was decided by the gods, throwing out their lightning rods
Wow, we're in the same city
We're both relatively pretty
We're both single, under fifty, must be kismet
So kiss me, woo, mwah

Two, three
Let's unravel all the thread, let's see how it's gonna end
All the pieces seem to fit, it's beautiful, it's bliss
We like music, we like movies, we like dancing, we like whiskey
We're so similar, it's freaky, must be kismet
So kiss me, woo, mwah

Two, three
Ooh, I keep on running into you
I live on your street but
What are the chances, the chances I keep running into you?
Ooh, it's like I'm meant to be with you
It's kismet baby, yeah
Something so drastic, it's magic
Like I'm supposed to be with you

It's all in the cosmic plan
Holding hands, it's out of our hands
Throw the dice, see where it lands
Let's just roll with it, roll with it
Oh my god, it's meant to be
And you just ran right into me?
No Bumble, just organically
What is this, 1993?
Must be kismet
So kiss me, woo, mwah

Ooh, I keep on running into you
I live on your street but
What are the chances, the chances I keep running into you?
Ooh, it's like I'm meant to be with you
It's kismet baby, yeah
Something so drastic, it's magic
Like I'm supposed to be with you

It's serendipity, it's special, baby
It's a miracle, it's magic, baby
It's serendipity, it's special, baby
It's a miracle, it's magic, baby

Ooh, I keep on running into you
I live on your street but
What are the chances, the chances I keep running into you?
Ooh, it's like I'm meant to be with you
It's kismet baby, yeah
Something so drastic, it's magic
Like I'm supposed to be with you

Edge of the Earth

She's a fire sign
And I don't really know what that means
I'm a cold night
And I wanna be close to the heat
I don't want to get burned
I don't want love like that
But I can't go any further 'til I start coming back

I'm a rock star
And I'm never around when you need
Like a race-car driving away from the scene
Does she want me to stay?
Does she want me to pack?
You can't push me any further 'til I start coming back

Turn me around, right upside down
Spin me like a globe and drop your finger on me
I feel so far, you're all I want
Spin me like a globe and drop your finger on me

You push me in circles
To the edge of the Earth
Where I can't go any further
'Til I start coming back to you

I'm an addict
I'm addicted to her into me
She's a magnet
Pulling me under the sheets
If I hold you too close
Will the good things still grow?
Don't matter what happens, wherever we end up
We'll come right back

Turn me around, right upside down
Spin me like a globe and drop your finger on me
I feel so far, you're all I want
Spin me like a globe and drop your finger on me

You push me in circles
To the edge of the Earth
Where I can't go any further
'Til I start coming back to you

Turn me around, right upside down
Spin me like a globe and drop your finger on me
I feel so far, you're all I want
Spin me like a globe and drop your finger on me

You push me in circles
To the edge of the Earth
Where I can't go any further
'Til I start coming back to you

If A Tree Falls

Hiding in your hoodie, pulling on its strings
Haven't took it off since you told me everything
God, I wish that you didn't
Had to take a knife and open up the cut
Silver in the light, watch it tear me up
I'll bleed out any minute

I could look the other way again
'Cause I learned from the best how to play pretend

If a tree falls
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause if I don't know
I don't have to feel it
If I don't see it going down
Then why can't I just block it out?
Watching you fall
And I was nowhere near it
But I heard it and I hate it

Back at the beginning, older than before
Wish I could remember the girl who I adored
I don't know where she's hidden
Running by the water, sun burning my skin
Gotta keep on moving before it all sinks in
How is he getting through it?

I could look the other way again
'Cause I learned from the best how to play pretend

So if a tree falls
I don't wanna hear it
I don't want wanna hear it, I don't
'Cause if I don't know
I don't like to feel it
I don't have to feel it, I don't
If I don't see it going down
Then why can't I just block it out?
Watching you fall
And I was nowhere near it
But I heard it and I hate it

If I don't see it going down
Does it make a sound? Does it make a sound?
Then I won't have to be let down
Oh, I hate the sound, oh, I hate the sound
If I don't see it going down
Does it make a sound? Does it make a sound?
Then why can't I just block it out?
Oh, I hate the sound, oh, I hate

Yeah, I heard it and I hate that I did, now I'm hurting
And I heard it and I hate that I did, was it worth it?
If I don't see it going down
Does it make a sound? Does it make a sound?
Then why can't I just block it out?
Does it make a sound? Does it make a

If a tree falls
I don't wanna hear it

Cigarette

She's been infiltrating all my dreams
She said I'm femme, please
Come back and tell me what that means, please

I wanna kiss your lips for the hell of it
Running up your back with my fingertips
And let me hold you and get to know you

Honey, I don't care what your parents said
You like the bad girls, baby
And that's what you'll get
I want to show you and get to know you

I'm yours, yes
I wanna be your cigarette, yes
And of course, of course, yes
I'll stay forever on your lips, yes
I'm yours, yes
I wanna be your cigarette, yes
And of course, can you guess?
Am I a little bit obsessed?
Yes, yes, yes, yes

Touch me there and I'll touch you there
Run your fingers up through my tangled hair
Honey, it's not fair, it's not fair
You look so hot, it's not fair

In your low rise jeans like my fantasy
F*ck, I feel so cool when you talk to me
I'm so lucky, do you like me?

I don't care what your parents said
You like the bad girls, baby
And that's what you'll get
I wanna show you and get to know you

I'm yours, yes
I wanna be your cigarette, yes
And of course, of course, yes
I'll stay forever on your lips, yes
I'm yours, hell yes
I wanna be your cigarette, yes, yes
And of course can you guess?
Am I a little bit obsessed?
Yes, yes, yes, yes

Back to: The Beaches


Blame My Ex is the second full-length studio album by Canadian rock band the Beaches, released in 2023.

The album was led by the hit single "Blame Brett", which reached number 1 on the Billboard Canada rock charts, and broke through as the band's first charting single in the United States. The song refers to Jordan Miller's prior relationship with Brett Emmons of The Glorious Sons, although Miller clarified that the song was not meant to be perceived as attacking him, but as an apology to future boyfriends for her own struggles to commit to a new relationship. She has stressed that she is the "bad guy" in the song, not Emmons, and has spoken out against fans who tried to vilify Emmons based on the song.

The album peaked at number 76 on the Canadian Albums Chart.

The album won the Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2024, and was a longlisted nominee for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize.
