I Know It Wont Work Gracie Abrams 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?
