Gracie Abrams I Told You Things Lyrics
I told you things that I never said
You’re the golden boy and my worst regret
So I cut the cost and limit feeling
You were all at once, ’til the fade to black
Took your cigarettes and poems back
You were in my hands, now you’re on my ceiling
But how’s the city been?
You get recognized at the local bar
By the drunken guys and the starlit girls
They claw for pieces
Do you give a few? Do you like that?
Do you freak out or get sad?
Do you go home, or am I reaching?
Hey, wait
Guess what?
Yesterday
I stopped and played it safe
Instead of walking straight to you to say
“Stay”
Never mind. OK
Don’t mean it, plus you’ve changed
Not much, but just enough to throw away
Fake fantasies and games
I’ve lost it here, it’s strange
Composed a hundred ways to tell you
Hey, what if I took your call
As more than just a call
As writing on the walls?
You built this cage
Lost color in my face
You’re fearing I’m insane
Hallucination, shame, guilt, pain
More pain
Don’t let them know we’re in pain
Don’t let them know we’re in pain
Don’t let them know we’re in pain
I told you things that I never said to anybody else
I regret them
But I’ll pack it up and practice leaving
You were all at once, ’til the fade to black
‘Til the yellow glow turned a little sad
You were in my hands, but you’re good at leaving
