Gracefully

Gracefully, gracefully
I wanted to leave
Gracefully, gracefully
I wanted to leave
But it ain't easy
If somebody else isn't gone
Honestly, honestly
I told her before
Honestly, honestly
I told her before
But it ain't easy
If somebody else doesn't hear
And it ain't easy
If somebody else doesn't see
How the traffic stalls, curtain calls
Kept me away from facing it all
We've made it hard a world apart
You're playing house and I'm playing
rock star
It got cold and pale. Every nail
Sealing me into a beautiful failure
All the stones we might have thrown
Were building up walls that kept me
from saying
Gracefully, gracefully
I wanted to leave
Gracefully, gracefully
I wanted to leave
But it ain't easy
If somebody else isn't gone
