Alicia first performed “Gramercy Park” at her Tiny Desk Concert. The song addresses losing sense of self as a result of love.
[Verse 1]
Are you gonna see me when light gets dark?
The sun goes down over Gramercy Park
And it's become easy to hide pieces away
Making up someone in the hope that you'll stay
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been trying to be everything I think you want me to be
I've been doing all the things that I think you wanna see
I've been trying to fulfill you with your every need
Now you falling for a person that's not even me
Said you falling for a person that's not even me (Gimme the beat)
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm (Gimme the beat)

Now you falling for a person that's not even me
[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't out to deceive
I like the attention with your eyes on me
The trouble with the truth is it's so hard to believe
Now, here I stand with my heart on my sleeve
[Chorus]
And I've been trying to be everything I think you want me to be
I've been doing all the things that I think you wanna see
I've been trying to fulfill you with your every need
Now you falling for a person that's not even me
Said you falling for a person that's not even me (Gimme the beat)
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm (Gimme the beat)
Mmm, mmm
Now you falling for a person that's not even me
Now you falling for a person that's not even me
'Cause I forgot about the person that I used to be
