[ti:This Grudge] |

[ar:Alanis Morissette] |

[al:] |
| [00:00.00] |
|
| [00:10.42] |
Fourteen years |
| [00:13.35] |
thirty minutes |
| [00:15.64] |
fifteen seconds I've |
| [00:19.48] |
held this grudge |
| [00:21.70] |
|
| [00:22.49] |
Eleven songs |
| [00:25.43] |
four full journals |
| [00:27.83] |
thoughts of punishment |
| [00:31.49] |
I've expended |
| [00:33.97] |
|
| [00:34.48] |
Not in contact |
| [00:37.47] |
not a letter |
| [00:39.97] |
such communication |
| [00:43.55] |
telepathic |
| [00:45.90] |
you've been vilified |
| [00:49.55] |
used as fodder |
| [00:52.21] |
you deserve a piece |
| [00:55.53] |
of every record |
| [00:58.00] |
|
| [00:58.71] |
But who's it hurting now? |
| [01:04.66] |
Who's the one that's stuck? |
| [01:10.66] |
Who's it torturing now |
| [01:14.34] |
with an antique knot in her stomach? |
| [01:19.51] |
|
| [01:21.89] |
I want to be big and let go |
| [01:25.33] |
of this grudge that's grown old |
| [01:27.89] |
all this time I've not known |
| [01:31.49] |
how to rest this bygone |
| [01:34.05] |
I wanna be soft and resolved |
| [01:37.45] |
clean of slate and released |
| [01:40.05] |
I wanna forgive for the both of us |
| [01:45.61] |
|
| [01:46.16] |
Like an abandoned house |
| [01:49.98] |
dusty covered |
| [01:52.95] |
furniture |
| [01:55.98] |
still intact |
| [01:58.17] |
If I visit it now |
| [02:01.35] |
will I simply re-live it |
| [02:04.99] |
somehow gratuitous |
| [02:10.35] |
|
| [02:11.09] |
But who's still aching now? |
| [02:17.06] |
Who's tired of her own voice? |
| [02:23.14] |
Who is it weighing down |
| [02:26.90] |
With no gift from time of said healing |
| [02:32.35] |
|
| [02:34.44] |
I want to be big and let go |
| [02:37.83] |
of this grudge that's grown old |
| [02:40.30] |
all this time I've not known |
| [02:43.89] |
how to rest this bygone |
| [02:46.54] |
I wanna be soft and resolved |
| [02:49.95] |
clean of slate and released |
| [02:52.56] |
I wanna forgive for the both of us |
| [02:58.64] |
|
| [02:58.99] |
Maybe as I cut the cord |
| [03:02.07] |
veils will lift from my eyes |
| [03:04.95] |
Maybe as I lay this to rest |
| [03:07.76] |
dead weight off my shoulders will rise |
| [03:12.63] |
|
| [03:14.72] |
Here I sit |
| [03:17.67] |
much determined |
| [03:19.90] |
ever ill-equipped |
| [03:23.33] |
to draw this curtain |
| [03:26.11] |
how this has entertained |
| [03:29.60] |
validated |
| [03:32.07] |
and has served me well |
| [03:34.81] |
ever the victim |
| [03:38.09] |
|
| [03:38.70] |
But who's done whining now? |
| [03:44.36] |
Who's ready to put down |
| [03:50.41] |
this load I've carried longer |
| [03:54.79] |
than I had cared to remember |
| [04:00.09] |
|
| [04:02.23] |
I want to be big and let go |
| [04:05.52] |
of this grudge that's grown old |
| [04:07.98] |
For the life of me I've not known |
| [04:11.51] |
how to rest this bygone |
| [04:14.15] |
I wanna be soft and resolved |
| [04:17.50] |
clean of slate and released |
| [04:20.17] |
I wanna forgive for the both of us |
| [04:26.15] |
I want to be big and let go |
| [04:29.64] |
of this grudge that's grown old |
| [04:32.10] |
For the life of me I've not known |
| [04:35.63] |
how to rest this bygone |
| [04:38.25] |
I wanna be soft and resolved |
| [04:41.65] |
clean of slate and released |
| [04:44.26] |
I wanna forgive for the both of us |
| [04:50.84] |
|
| [04:54.14] |
|
| [05:01.09] |
END |
