Lyrics: Let It Happen by Gracie Abrams
No, I know I'm a walking contradiction and it shows Got a history of being in control I'm aware that I could end up here alone But then we spoke I had a backbone made of glass, and then it broke Now I stay up and I wait here by the phone if you're ready, all I mean is we could go I've never craved someone's attention As much as yours, thought I should mention that I bet all my money that I will Lose to you and hand you my life Here's to hoping you're worth all my time And I might barely know you, but still Don't love you yet, but probably will Turn me into something tragic Just for you, I let it happen I let it happen But it's fine 'Cause I can tell that I'm projecting half the time I lack context so I've made up all these lies It's the only thing that helps me sleep at night Mm And now I'm looking in the mirror You made me vain, I can't believe I have to be her I bet all my money that I will Lose to you and hand you my life Here's to hoping you're worth all my time And I might barely know you, but still Don't love you yet but probably will Turn me into something tragic Just for you, I let it happen I let it happen I let it happen I let it happen I let it happen You've turned all my skies to pouring rain Locked me out the house again Is this how you see me now? I'm reeling and I might Break the windows, let myself back in Lost it for a minute there Get my shit together, it's whatever, but I could die Knowing that you're probably out somewhere While I'm in my underwear Eating through my feelings, I'm still reeling, but it's fine Oh, thank God that you're not seeing this I'll spare you from everything If you would still have me, I'll be waiting all my life Oh-oh I bet all my money that I will Lose to you and hand you my life Here's to hoping you're worth all my time I might barely know you, but still Don't love you yet but probably will Turn me into something tragic Just for you, I let it happen I bet all my money that I will Lose to you and hand you my life Here's to hoping you're worth all my time I might barely know you, but still Don't love you yet but probably will Turn me into something tragic Just for you, I let it happen I let it happen I let it happen I let it happen I let it happen
