Grace
Chantal Kreviazuk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please don't go
I cannot breathe you in
Your air is too thick for me
And it makes my lungs sting

Please don't go
I cannot walk beside
Think I'll stay behind a mile
'Cause I don't need you crampin' my style

And do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong

Please don't go
Without you I am weak
I find myself drinkin' and sinkin' and seekin'

Please don't go
Sometimes it gets so cold
That I'd rather grab for a blanket instead
Of getting into your comfort zone

Do you still have grace
And mercy, sweet mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh

I know I've wronged you
I know I've hurt you so many times
I hope I haven't scarred you

You still have grace
And you still have this mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
You still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong





If you keep kissin' my face
One day, I'll no longer do you wrong

Overall Meaning

The song "Grace" by Chantal Kreviazuk expresses the fear of losing someone that a person loves despite the difficulties they face. The singer is afraid of being left alone, but at the same time, she feels that being with the person she loves is too much for her to handle. She is suffocating in the air that her lover brings and is afraid of being judged by them. The singer clearly admires the qualities that her lover has, such as grace and mercy, and is afraid that her actions can result in their departure. She admits to having done wrong in the past and hopes that her lover will forgive her trespasses and continue to show her love, despite her shortcomings.


The song's lyrics speak to the power of forgiveness and the need for acceptance in relationships. The idea of grace portrays the unmerited love and kindness that a lover can show, even when the other person fails to live up to their expectations. Love is not perfect and can be messy, but the song acknowledges that despite all of this, a relationship can still thrive.


Line by Line Meaning

Please don't go
I don't want you to leave


I cannot breathe you in
Your presence is suffocating me


Your air is too thick for me
Your personality is overwhelming me


And it makes my lungs sting
Being around you is hurting me


I cannot walk beside
I don't want to be seen with you


Think I'll stay behind a mile
I'll keep my distance from you


'Cause I don't need you crampin' my style
You're holding me back


And do you still have grace
Are you still kind and forgiving towards me?


And mercy, mercy
Will you show me mercy?


To keep on kissin' my face
Will you still show me affection?


Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong
Even though I keep doing things that hurt you


Without you I am weak
I feel helpless without you


I find myself drinkin' and sinkin' and seekin'
I turn to unhealthy habits when you're not around


Sometimes it gets so cold
Sometimes life is hard without you


That I'd rather grab for a blanket instead
I'd rather find comfort in something else


Of getting into your comfort zone
I don't want to rely on you for comfort


I know I've wronged you
I know I've hurt you


I know I've hurt you so many times
I've hurt you repeatedly


I hope I haven't scarred you
I hope I haven't caused permanent damage


You still have grace
You're still kind and forgiving towards me


And you still have this mercy
You're still willing to show me mercy


If you keep kissin' my face
If you keep showing me affection


One day, I'll no longer do you wrong
One day, I'll stop hurting you
