Born in Selkirk, the Canadian artist sings, raps, and plays guitar. Grace started when he was four years old, later finding an audience as a teenager with covers of artists like the Weeknd and Taylor Swift. He co-wrote "Flower" for Cody Simpson and "That One Song" with gnash, eventually appearing on tracks by Huey Mack ("Things Change"), Hoodie Allen ("Heartbreak"), and gnash ("Two Shots"). His debut single, "Memories," arrived in 2015. "Pretend," "So, What Does This All Mean?," and "Memorie$," featuring Jesse Rutherford and A$AP Ant, followed in 2016. The next year, he continued with the release of "April" and "Strange Times," while the previously issued "Two Shots" slow-burned its way to 12 million online streams, landing Grace a deal with Atlantic.
His major-label debut, Infinite, arrived in spring 2018 and included "Two Shots" as well as the single "In the Light of the Moon" featuring Lil Aaron. That summer, Grace re-teamed with Rutherford for the single "Too High," and issued "Rest Your Eyes" later that December. The single "Wasting Time" appeared in summer 2019.
Scumbag
Goody Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a knife into my stomach
And there ain't no use in running
While she's twisting it
Ran out of patience
Told me I'm both kinds of wasted
Like this, self-deprecation that I'm swimming in
This candle's burning at both ends
This is it
She says I'm a scumbag
Wants to take her love back
Story of my life
Why am I such an asshole?
Everything is my fault
Happens every time
Why?
Can't even argue
I'm too fucked up, it's too hard to
Smashed my heart in like a cartoon
There's no fixing it (yeah)
But what's the difference between broken love and prison?
She said "Why you never listen?"
'Least I think she did (yeah)
I don't know, I don't know how it got so bad
But it got so bad
I don't know why I make you sad
She says I'm a scumbag
Wants to take her love back
Story of my life
Why am I such an asshole?
Everything is my fault
Happens every time
Why? (ooh, why?)
I know, I know that she hates me
I know, I know that she can't take me
I hope she knows I can't face myself right now
I don't know, I don't know how it got so bad
When it got so bad
I don't know why I make you sad
She says I'm a scumbag
Wants to take her love back
Story of my life
Why am I such an asshole?
Everything is my fault
Happens every time
Why?
I know, I know that she hates me
I know, I know that she can't take me
I know she knows that it breaks me down, down, down
I know, I know that she hates me
I know, I know that she can't take me
I hope she knows I can't face myself right now
