Grace
Will Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling so strange I'm seeing you clearly now
Your beauty's deadlier everyday
All these people, am I the only one who found you out
Is no one willing to say, willing to say, willing to say?

Why don't you slow down, turn your head round?
Been treading on hearts that are giving in with a little
Grace, you're getting away with it
Words, but nothing to say with it
You smile and take what you need in any way that you please

Isn't it a shame you've nothing to show from these lies?
I told you you'd pay for it
Lonely are the days of your life

You spoke in rhymes and rhythms , the sweetest sounds
They drew me in like a moth to a flame
Oh, all these people you hurt along the way will haunt you now
'Cause things are going to change, going to change, going to change

Why don't you slow down, turn your head around?
Been treading on hearts that are giving in with a little

Grace, you're getting away with it
Words, but nothing to say with it
You smile and take what you need in any way that you please

Isn't it a shame you've nothing to show from these lies?
I told you you'd pay for it
Lonely are the days of your life

You're beginning to lose, things are fading in front of your eyes
You've a long way to fall before you even realize
That this loneliness hurts
Lonely will be the days of your life

Grace, you're getting away with it
Words and nothing to say with it
You blame but you're not ashamed of it
Hurt, you don't feel the pain of it

Lie, straight in the face of it
Your mind, you should be afraid of it
Your grace, you're getting away with it
Nothing to get in my way

With a little grace, you're getting away with it
Words and nothing to say with it
Lonely are the days of your life

Lonely are your days
You lie, straight in the face of it




Your mind, your mind, you should be afraid
You're heading for trouble
