Will You Cry? Lyrics – Gracie Abrams
Will You Cry? Lyrics
[Intro: Gracie Abrams]
Two, three, four
[Chorus: Gracie Abrams]
When you talk, you get shallow
Where I'll walk, you don't follow
When I scream, you're my echo
Will you cry if I let go?
[Verse 1: Gracie Abrams]
Damage lined up
Wreckage left behind us
How'd we get stuck?
Now, I'm what you're bored of
[Refrain: Gracie Abrams]
Now, you walk through me with my heart heavy
Breaking my reverie, I could die early
With your arms 'round me, habits go slowly
Would it not kill to say goodbye?
[Chorus: Gracie Abrams]
When you talk, you get shallow
Where I'll walk, you don't follow
When I scream, you're my echo
Will you cry if I let go?
[Verse 2: Gracie Abrams]
Pieces broken
All wе left unspoken
Aimless, hoping
Lеft my mouth wide open
It's kind of funny when it goes from all to nothing
You have to laugh before you start to cry
'Cause now I stop myself from holding onto something
That makes me feel a little less alive
[Chorus: Gracie Abrams]
When you talk, you get shallow
Where I'll walk, you don't follow
When I scream, you're my echo
Will you cry if I let go?
[Bridge: Gracie Abrams]
You don't move me, I see through you
I don't follow, I don't want to
You don't move me, I see through you
I don't follow, I don't want to
You don't move me, I see through you
I don't follow, I don't want to
You don't move me, I see through you
I don't follow, I don't want to
[Refrain: Gracie Abrams]
And now, you walk through me with my heart heavy
Breaking my reverie, I could die early
With your arms 'round me, habits go slowly
Would it not kill to say goodbye?
[Chorus: Gracie Abrams]
When you talk, you get shallow
Where I'll walk, you don't follow
When I scream, you're my echo
Will you cry if I let go?
When you talk, you get shallow
Where I'll walk, you don't follow
When I scream, you're my echo
Will you cry if I let go?
[Outro: Gracie Abrams]
Will you cry if I let go?
Will you cry if I let go?
Will you cry if I let go?
Will you cry if I let go?
Will You Cry? Lyrics Meaning
"Will You Cry?" by Gracie Abrams seems to be about the complexities of a fading relationship, the struggle to maintain a connection, and the uncertainty of whether the other person truly cares about its continuation. The lyrics convey a sense of emotional heaviness, frustration, and the difficult decision of whether or not to let go. Let's explain the meaning of each paragraph.
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Gracie Abrams reflects on the damage and wreckage left behind in a troubled relationship. The lines "Damage lined up" and "Wreckage left behind us" suggest that there have been conflicts and problems in the relationship. The lyric "Now, I'm what you're bored of" hints at the idea that one person in the relationship has become uninteresting or unexciting to the other.
[Refrain]
In the refrain, the singer talks about the heavy burden on their heart as the other person walks through them. This might be a metaphor for feeling emotionally distant or disconnected from the partner. The singer mentions the possibility of an early death, which could be a metaphor for the emotional toll of the relationship. The mention of "habits go slowly" suggests that they've been holding onto certain patterns or routines in the relationship, which may not be healthy.
[Chorus]
The chorus conveys a sense of emotional distance and a lack of reciprocation in the relationship. The singer feels like when they express themselves ("When you talk"), the other person doesn't engage deeply or follow their lead ("you get shallow"). The line "Will you cry if I let go?" suggests a desire to know if the other person would feel any emotional loss if the singer were to end the relationship.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Gracie Abrams describes a relationship with "pieces broken" and unspoken issues. The singer is left feeling aimless and open, indicating a sense of vulnerability. The verse talks about the transition from a strong connection to almost nothing, and the need to find humor in the situation to avoid breaking down in tears. The phrase "makes me feel a little less alive" hints at the emotional toll of the fading relationship.
[Bridge]
The bridge of the song reinforces the idea of emotional detachment and a lack of connection. The repetition of "You don't move me, I see through you" suggests that the singer no longer feels emotionally moved by the other person and sees through their facade. The lines "I don't follow, I don't want to" express a desire to break away from the relationship and not be influenced by it anymore.
[Refrain]
The second refrain reiterates the heavy heart and the contemplation of whether saying goodbye would be less painful. It echoes the idea that the relationship has taken a toll on the singer's emotions.
[Chorus]
The chorus is a central part of the song, where the singer asks if the other person will cry if they let go. This could be a plea for emotional validation or a test to see if the other person truly cares about the relationship. The shallow talking, lack of following, and echoing of the singer's screams all symbolize a lack of deep connection and understanding in the relationship.
[Outro]
The outro repeats the question "Will you cry if I let go?" multiple times, emphasizing the uncertainty and the difficulty of making the decision to end the relationship. It underscores the emotional weight of this decision.
In summary, "Will You Cry?" explores the emotional struggles, detachment, and uncertainty that can arise in a deteriorating relationship. The song raises questions about whether it is better to hold on or to let go, and the emotional toll that such decisions can have on a person.
