Firing Sideways Lyrics by Grace Gardner

After Knowing

2024

[Verse 1]
I mentioned you to Jack
Who mentioned you to Taylor
They didn't have your name
On the guest list at The Empire
You swore you'd done me a favor (Mmm)
By trying to pin me down
Before I had the chance to say something big
About the way my name still lives in your mouth
And it's rent-free
Made a home now
With wood scraps and a casting couch

[Chorus]
You should've just told me
If what you wanted was someone conniving
I can give it to you
What kind of favor would it be?
If you got up to leave
Rotting in my rearview

[Verse 2]
I spoke with your biggest fear
She's insignificance, so deep-seated, just waiting here for you
To let loose one single tear
You're robotic, formulaic
Suffocated if you couldn't rent an ear
They're bleeding when you talk
Tip-toeing on a fault line
You think it's me or nobody at all
And you've bet everything you got
On big shots firing sideways
But name recognition is worth the clout

[Chorus]
You could've just told me
If what you wanted was arm candy
I can fake it for a night
But what you crave, baby
A trophy worth noting
I can't fake that for life

[Verse 3]
That second fear came true
Remember how you begged and pleaded me
To not say jack shit about you?
Well, I tried the best I could do
But the truth is, storyteller
Somebody else will bring you back to bloom
And kill you too
