I know it won't work

I left you here Heard you keep the extra closet empty In case this year I come back and stay throughout my twenties What if I won't? How am I supposed to put that gently? And down the road You will love me until you resent me I've had the thought Tried to work it out through anxious pacing What if I'm not Worth the time and breath I know you're saving? But it's a lot All the shine of half a decade fading The whole facade Seemed to fall apart, it's complicated And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen I hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different 'Cause part of me wants you back, but I know it won't work like that, huh? Why won't you try moving on for once? That might make it easy I know we cut all the ties but you're never really leaving And part of me wants you back, but I know it won't work like that, huh? I know it won't work like that I'll open up I'm thinking everything you wish I wasn't The call was tough But you're better off, I'm being honest So won't you stop Holding out for me when I don't want it Just brush me off 'Cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen I hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different 'Cause part of me wants you back, but I know it won't work like that, huh? Why won't you try moving on for once? That might make it easy I know we cut all the ties but you're never really leaving And part of me wants you back, but I know it won't work like that, huh? I know it won't work like that, huh? I know it won't work like that, huh? And part of me wants to walk away 'til you really listen I hate to look at your face and know that we're feeling different 'Cause part of me wants you back, but I know it won't work like that, huh? Why won't you try moving on for once? That might make it easy I know we cut all the ties but you're never really leaving And part of me wants you back, but I know it won't work like that, huh? --- I know it won't work - Gracie Abrams
