Alanis Morissette - This Grudge Lyrics
14 years30 minutes15 secondsI've held this grudge11 songs4 full journalsthoughts of punishment I've expendednot in contact, not a lettersuch communication, telepathicyou've been vilifiedused as fodderyou deserve a piece of every recordbut who's it hurting now?who's the one that's stuck?who's it torturing nowwith an antique knot in her stomach?I wanna be big and let goof this grudge that's grown oldall this time I've not knownhow to rest this bygoneI wanna be soft and resolvedcleared slate and releasedI wanna forgive for the both of uslike an abandoned housedusty cupboard, furniture still intactif i vist it now will i simple relive it?somehow gratuitous?but who's still aching now?who's tired of her own voice?who's it weighing down with no giftfrom time of said healing?I wanna be big and let goof this grudge that's grown oldall this time I've not knownhow to rest this bygoneI wanna be soft and resolvedcleared slate and releasedI wanna forgive for the both of usmaybe as i cut the cordveils will lift from my eyesmaybe as i lay this to restdead weight off my shoulders will risehere i sit much determinedever ill-equipped to draw this curtainhow this has enterained, validatedand has served me wellever the victimbut who's done whining now?who's ready to put downthis load i've carried longer than i had cared to remember?I wanna be big and let goof this grudge that's grown oldfor the life of me I've not knownhow to rest this bygoneI wanna be soft and resolvedcleared slate and releasedI wanna forgive for the both of us.
