ex girlfriend syndrome Lyrics

I opened the door to your head
Tried going quietly
But I slammed the door instead

I yelled, "Why'd I even come here?"
But still I stayed for a while
Looked in every draw that I could find
Saw you calendar on the floor
You're not very organized are you?

I said to myself, I said to myself
"You should go, you should leave"
Good side pulling on my sleeve
But I stood there, I stood there
With a note from my head
Opposite of what my heart said

Oh I should not be here you know
I should not be here you know I should not be here you know
I should not be here you know I should not be here you know
I should not be here you know I should not be here you know

I went through all your dirty laundry
Even those smelly socks
I wonder where, where those even came from
Saw everything you had lying around
From your deck of cards
To the way you feel about me
Just lying on the ground

I said to myself, I said to myself
"You should go, you should leave"
Good side pulling on my sleeve
But I stood there, I stood there
With a note from my head
Opposite of what my heart said

How I Could Kill A Man

I opened the door to your head
Tried going quietly
But I slammed the door instead

I yelled, "Why'd I even come here?"
But still I stayed for a while
Looked in every draw that I could find
Saw you calendar on the floor
You're not very organized are you?

I said to myself, I said to myself
"You should go, you should leave"
Good side pulling on my sleeve
But I stood there, I stood there
With a note from my head
Opposite of what my heart said

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I thought it was:

"I opened the door to your head Tried going quietly But the door slammed instead I yelled, "Why'd I even come here?!"

and I'm pretty sure she sings, "you're not very organized, or are you?"

and I think it makes more sense as: "with a note from my head" because it's like she's asking her heart what it thinks not her head or something

sorry, don't mean to come off being all 'that's wrong' that's just what I thought I heard

anyway, I think she's singing about trying to see if she still has feelings for an ex but maybe he wasn't that good for her and she thinks she shouldn't be there again or even thinking about it again

or maybe she's trying to find out about a new guy and is wondering if he really is good for her too

thse lyrics are completely wrong.

anyway, the song was written when she was sixteen and she says it's about being with a guy and knowing too much about what he was thinking.

Yea, those lyrics- yours- or right. the ones posted are really wrong and don't make sense, but some, that i couldn't decipher on my own kind of do like. "you should go you should leave please stop pulling on my sleeve" she sings it so fast it sounds like "Gosh-ly, looks are pulling on my sleeve" which i thought meant his stare as she leaves makes her want to go back, but the other makes more sense.

I love this song. It means exactly what the title says. your an ex, but you don't nessacrily give him up. I know im bad at that. Still washing exes dirty laundry... its a great song.
