"The Exit" lyrics

"The Exit"

February
And the flowers haven't even wilted
It's crazy how fast you tilted
The world that we were busy building
Mid November
And I'm sipping on a half-cold-coffee
Staring at a girl who's not me
On your arm, a carbon copy

Feels like we had matching wounds
But mine's still black and bruised
And yours is perfectly fine now

Feels like we buried alive
Something that never died
So God it hurt when I found out

You love her
It's over
Do you even doubt it on your lips? (When you say it, say it)
You love her
It's over
You already found someone to miss
While I'm still standing at
The exit
I'm still standing at
The exit

I can't hate you
For getting everything we wanted
I just thought that I would be part of it
I was moving into your apartment
When you met someone, she's from your hometown
You hate the east coast, it's where you live now
Impossible to understand
How you're not coming back, but I can't say it out loud

You love her
It's over
Do you even doubt it on your lips? (When you say it, say it)
You love her
It's over
You already found someone to miss
While I'm still standing at
The exit
I'm still standing at
The exit

Feels like we had matching wounds
But mine's still black and bruised
And yours is perfectly fine

Feels like we buried alive
Something that never died
So God it hurt when I found out

You love her
It's over
Do you even doubt it on your lips? (When you say it, say it)
You love her
It's over
You already found someone to miss

You love her
It's over
You already found someone to miss

Julia Michaels co-wrote this song with Conan Gray. She told Paper Magazine, "'The Exit' was full vulnerability. It ended our songwriting arc on such a beautiful note." Conan Gray added, "That one was very much a diary entry. We wrote that song in the last 30 minutes before you had to go home. [...] And no offense to you, Julia, but I look at you and see that you're as damaged as I am. So I knew that I didn't have to be afraid of the things that had happened to me in my life, because I knew that you'd been through similar."
