Gracie Abrams’ latest single, “Cool,” from the deluxe edition of her album The Secret of Us, released on October 18, 2024, explores the emotional aftermath of a tumultuous breakup.
The song is characterized by its candid lyrics and a blend of synth and piano that creates an ethereal soundscape.
The track features a glitchy, synth-infused intro that transitions into a more melodic piano arrangement. This juxtaposition mirrors the emotional complexity of the lyrics, allowing listeners to feel both the weight of heartbreak and the lightness of newfound independence.
Cool Gracie Abrams Lyrics
I’m not offended and I never was
I said I lied to your face, you can suck it up
I’m actin’ bored, it’s my right, after all the love
That you bombed
You kick back on your couch with a glass of wine
It’s not the same as it was between you and I
Yeah, time can do somethin’ funny, it can change my mind
Thank God
Now I’m so cool
I’ll be cool for the hell of it
You promised me that you’d call, but you never did
Fool, I’m a fool if the shoe fits
You probably met up with Cass and said the same shit
Calm down, maybe, baby, calm down
Waited for your walls to close on me, they did
I spun ’round, hate the way I spun ’round
All the way ’til I could barely breathe
I’m not pretending in the way you are
You run your hands through your hair, phony superstar
Then say you miss me, you’re sad, yeah, I bet you are
Then guess what? Mm
I wish that I didn’t, but I know too much
You stranded Sadie and Sarah when they opened up
A waste of running mascara, you thought we wouldn’t talk
Thought wrong, ah
Now I’m so cool
I’ll be cool for the hell of it
You paint a picture of us just to burn it
Fool, I’m a fool if the shoe fits
I bet you met up with Dev and said the same shit
Calm down, maybe, baby, calm down
Waited for your walls to close on me, they did
I spun ’round, hate the way I spun ’round
All the way ’til I could barely breathe
Breathe, breathe
No, I’ll be fine
I’ll just look for the silver lining
Stay out of sight
Half my mind, you’re still occupying
Kill for a while, stole my time
Thanks a lot for nothing
Stop, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine
I’ll be cool
I’m so cool for the hell of it
You promised me this was real, but it wasn’t
Fool, I’m a fool if the shoe fits
You probably met up with Elle and said the same shit
Calm down, maybe, baby, calm down
Waited for your walls to close on me, when they did
I spun ’round, hate the way I spun ’round
All the way ’til I could barely breathe
