Gracie Abrams - I Know It Won't Work Lyrics

I left you here

Heard you keep the extra closet empty

In this case this year

I come back and stay throughout my twenties

What if I won't?

How am I supposed to put that gently?

And down the road

You will love me until you resent me

I've had the thought

Tried to work it out through anxious pacing

What if I'm not

Worth the time and breath I know you're saving?

But it's a lot

All the shine of half a decade fading

The whole facade

Seemed to fall apart, it's complicated

And part of me wants to walk away until you really listen

I hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different

'Cause part of me wants you back, but

I know it won't work like that, huh?

Why won't you try moving on for once? That might make it easy

I know we cut all the ties but you're never really leaving

And part of me wants you back, but

I know it won't work like that, huh?

I know it won't work like that

I'll open up

I'm thinking everything you wish I wasn't

The call was tough

But you're better off, I'm being honest

So won't you stop

Holding out for me when I don't want it

Just brush me off

'Cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted

And part of me wants to walk away until you really listen

I hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different

'Cause part of me wants you back, but

I know it won't work like that, huh?

Why won't you try moving on for once? That might make it easy

I know we cut all the ties but you're never really leaving

And part of me wants you back, but

I know it won't work like that, huh?

I know it won't work like that, huh?

I know it won't work like that, huh?

And part of me wants to walk away until you really listen

I hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different

'Cause part of me wants you back, but

I know it won't work like that, huh?

Why won't you try moving on for once? That might make it easy

I know we cut all the ties but you're never really leaving

And part of me wants you back, but

I know it won't work like that, huh?
