About This Track

'Grace' by Will Young is a 2008 pop track from the album 'Let It Go'. The lyrics describe a strange, increasingly clear vision of someone whose beauty is framed as dangerous, with the singer sounding isolated among others who have noticed but do not speak up. There is a repeated urging to slow down and turn round, paired with images of hearts being trodden on and yielding, as if the damage is spreading day by day. The tone is urgent and accusatory, and it carries a sense of being the only one willing to confront what everyone else seems to ignore.

"Grace" is a track by Will Young, from the album Let It Go, released 28th September 2008. The track is 4:36 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Will Young.

Lyrics

Grace

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
'Cos things are going to change, going to change, going to change

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'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
Oh

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 the days
You lie - straight in the face of it
Your mind, your mind - you should be afraid
You're heading for trouble
