alanis morissette - this grudge (vancouver sessions) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
fourteen years, thirty minutes
fifteen seconds i’ve held this grudge
eleven songs, four full journals
thoughts of punishment i’ve expended

[verse 2]
not in contact, not a letter
such communication, telepathic
you’ve been vilified, used as fodder
you deserve a piece of every record

[pre+chorus 1]
but who’s it hurting now?
who’s the one that’s stuck?
and who’s it torturing now
with an antique knot in her stomach?

[chorus]
i wanna be big and let go
of this grudge that’s grown old
all this time i’ve not known
how to rest this bygone
i wanna be soft and resolved
clean of slate and released
i wanna forgive for the both of us
[verse 3]
like an abandoned house, dusty covered
furniture, still intact
if i visit it now, do i simply re+live it?
somehow gratuitous

[pre+chorus 2]
but who’s still aching now?
who’s tired of her own voice?
who is it weighing down
with no gift from time of said healing?

[chorus]
i wanna be big and let go
of this grudge that’s grown old
all this time i’ve not known
how to rest this bygone
i wanna be soft and resolved
clean of slate and released
i wanna forgive for the both of us

[bridge]
maybe as i cut the cord
veils will lift from my eyes
maybe as i lay this to rest
dead weight off my shoulders to rise
[verse 4]
here i sit much determined
ever ill+equipped to draw this curtain
how this has entertained, validated
and has served me greatly, ever the victim

[pre+chorus 3]
but who’s done whining now?
who’s ready to put down?
this load i’ve carried longer
than i had cared to remember

[chorus]
i wanna be big and let go
of this grudge that’s grown old
all this time i’ve not known
how to rest this bygone
i wanna be soft and resolved
clean of slate and released
i wanna forgive for the both of us

i wanna be big and let go
of this grudge that’s grown old
for the life of me i’ve not known
how to rest this bygone
i wanna be soft and resolved
clean of slate and released
i wanna forgive for the both of us
