This song really shows the depth of her writing. I hope she keeps this up and doesnt go back

[tai...]

"When you know it's not gonna last and they will eventually break your heart but u still can't bring yourself to pull away "

[just_swiftly_shake_it_off_]

"The second you figured that I figured you out, now you look away when I look at you now." damn

I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with this song and just uploaded a cover of me singing it!! <3 since it's so new, idk how many covers there will be :D and, yes, this is 'a plan for some grand self promotion'~

can't wait for gracie's studio version!

This song is so perfect can't believe she gifted it to us.

[alexpyin]

Good lord the way her voice is echoing around that arena, the cheers from the crowd, and the little fix she does at the end after pressing the wrong chord makes me love this performance so much. What an insane experience it must have been to hear it live. Bravo Gracie, you have captured our souls with another beautiful track yet again

[LeahMinor]

“But how will it end? How long will you give me? Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me” crying 😭

[edg]

The lyrical artistry of this song speaks in decades to me... The slow death and subsequent realization is hauntingly beautiful... Goosebumps.

[mshfrdd]

can’t stop rewatching😭😭
so breathtaking😭

[coffeecakedreamin]

Alternative Interpretation: This song is the manifestation of the fear that someone close to you will leave because thats all youre used to so you keep finding "evidence" in their actions to feed your delusion/story ("How long will you give me till you twist the knife", "Hate to say its nothing new") Also hints to the way she sees herself in this relationship ("a drop in your ocean", "I ruined your plans") A sad way to think about it actually.

[eperdu]

, juste un piano en place
qui ouvre la voie
à une si belle voix,
quelle grâce !!!

[Uriellx]

"but how would you get so bulletproof?"
"Your eggshell floor is splintering now."

[alandavidson]

just absolutely floored by this performance

[jenc]

She does it AGAIN 😳 She deserves so much recognition for writing songs like this. Thanks Gracie!!! 💕

[kristincassano]

@ 2:11 the way she sings ‘house’ omgggg Gracie is everything to me. ❤

[IzabellaMoore-pz]

I heard this song from a video a fan recorded and was so in love I’m so happy she released it!

[MattyDavidFeldman]

Her authenticity and raw talent is something only greats possess!

[diksha.m]

VERSE 1
My love, you love your time machine
Your power trips and diamond rings
The walls you built on teenage dreams
The well you dug for sinking things
Your words to kill are evergreen
So you must not feel anything at all
But how'd you get so bulletproof?
You trade your time for inside truths
Trade your time for any clue
Of what to do or not to do
Hate to say, it's nothing new
Aside from those few girls you keep around

CHORUS
But how will it end? How long will you give me?
'Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me
And you ask me to dance if there's someone around
You don't look the same when I look at you now

VERSE 2
Well, honey pie, you're haunting me
I fell for your faux fantasy
You poured the wine, there's poison in it
Disregard my disposition
Truth is in the subtle things
Your eggshell floor is splintering now, mm
And it freaks me out, I'm old enough
To know you as a gateway drug
You're everything I'll never be
You love to look for enemies
I'd have to bet, that's lonely
Could leave you with an empty house

CHORUS
But how will it end? How long will you give me?
'Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me
And you ask me to dance if there's someone around
You don't look the same when I look at you now

BRIDGE
And I used to pretend that it didn't feel evil
Your light of a million suns burns through people
And bridges and cities 'til ash covers ground
A breath of your air is a death wish
And you're forcing my hand, but I'm a drop in your ocean
I ruined your plans of some grand self-promotion
The second you figured that I figured you out
Now you look away when I look at you now

OUTRO
Oh, look at you now
Well, look at you
Look at you, mm, mm

[Manjatofelana-xd]

This song is electric😭😭😭😭it's so addicting

[SparklingSophia]

Her smile when she hears the crowd cheer 🥹
