The song “You Know Me” tackles sensitive aspects of a relationship with lyrics including I’ve tried to change but I can’t // Not all sinners wanna be saints // Yeah, the tables turned, yeah it burns // But I don’t learn from my mistakes // ‘Cause I lie, and I cheat // And I smoke when I drink // And I know you’ve heard things // That they say about me…I know I’ve done you wrong // All the nights I didn’t come home // When I left you all alone // When your heart was broke but you still had hope so you left the porch light on.
“‘You Know Me,’ is about personal growth and acknowledging your errors through self-discovery in an honest way,” said Graves. “It’s sensitive subject matter for sure, but it really shows the complete other side that what’s normally talked about. I really wanted to prioritize releasing genuine music that lines up with who I am as an artist. This is one of those songs.”
