Gracie Abrams - I know it won’t work (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]

I left you here

Heard you keep the extra closet empty

In 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, mmm

[Verse 2]

I've had the thought

Tried to work it out through anxious pacin'

What if I'm not

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

But it's a lot

All the shine of half a decade fadin'

The whole facade

Seemed to fall apart, it's complicated, mmm

[Chorus]

And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen

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

'Cause part of me wants you back, but

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

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

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

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

[Verse 3]

I'll open up

And thinkin' everythin' you wish I wasn't

The call was tough

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

So, won't you stop

Holdin' out for me when I don't want it?

Just brush me off

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

[Chorus]

And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen

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

'Cause part of me wants you back, but

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

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

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

And part of me wants you back, but

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

[Bridge]

Oh-oh, oh-oh

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

Oh-oh, oh-oh

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

[Chorus]

And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen

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

'Cause part of me wants you back, but

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

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

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

And part of me wants you back, but

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