grave by Tate McRae

Artist: Tate McRae

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:13

“grave” sees McRae realizing that trying to change a person to fix a relationship doesn’t always work. It encapsulates the emotional rollercoaster of realizing the end of a relationship, capturing the complexity of emotions and the struggle endured when having to let go of a connection that has reached its final resting place. The track was first teased at the end of the “exes” music video and made its live debut on Saturday Night Live the next day on November 18, 2023. Fans first speculated...

grave lyrics

One chance, two chances of three
Think I got too much empathy, yeah
I hold my grudges like I held you
How does me tryin' to fix it
Turn into I'll just forgive it
One chance, two chances were lost on you (oh)
You can only dig the grave so deep
Before you start to take me down with you
With you, with you, with you, ooh
I could never make you want me like I wanted to be wanted
I could never really change you like I thought that I could
I was tryna make us something out of nothing, we were nothing at all
You can only dig the grave so deep
You can only try to save something that's not already gone
(It's so sad, what the fuck)
Said you'd be going out with all your boys
And I'm crazy if I called you, right
Tables turned, now I'm out
And you just called, like, 30 times (30 times)
Always a funny thing
Watchin' the tough guy plead
Oh, baby
You can only dig the grave so deep
Before you start to take me down with you
With you, with you, with you, ooh
I could never make you want me like I wanted to be wanted
I could never really change you like I thought that I could
I was tryna make us something out of nothin', we were nothin' at all
You can only dig the grave so deep
You can only try to save something that's not already gone (gone, gone)
That's not already gone
That's not already gone (already gone)
Ooh
You had me, you had me for a minute
The sad thing is you never would admit
That you had me, you had me for a minute there, oh
You had me, you had me for a minute (you had me, baby)
The sad thing is you never would admit
That you had me, you had me for a minute there (had)
But I could never make you want me like I wanted to be wanted
I could never really change you like I thought that I could
I was tryna make us something out of nothing, we were nothing at all
You can only dig the grave so deep
You can only try to save something that's not already gone
