Cover art for Hammers and Hearts lyrics by Daphne Loves Derby

I think this song is about an ex too, but I think the "don't ask me..." part is the dreaded "can we still be friends?" line. the girl is fine without him, but he doesn't want to be 'just a friend' when he still has feelings for her. Sometimes, its better not to be friends at all, and stay away.
