tami neilson – the grudge lyrics

[verse 1]
he survived the war, fled to faraway shores
fightin’ for a better life
settled in a small town, put roots down
three little boys and a wife
he was unleavened bread in a town
with a portrait of the pope over every door
hung his name on a sign, sellin’ suits and ties
kept his old name in the bottom of a drawer

[verse 2]
well, his middle child loved a girl too wild
swingin’ her rosary
the sacrifices i’ve made you ain’t gonna throw away
on somebody who’s nothin’ like you and me
but his son was wed so he dеclared him dead
and they nеver again did speak
and that son had a daughter and that daughter was my mother
passin’ grudges down the family tree
[chorus]
oh, it’s a dangerous game
honey, when you feed that pain
and you choose pride over love
you’re left holdin’ nothin’ but that grudge

[verse 3]
baby boy with your face full of joy
and a hand so small in mine
there might come a day we regret what we say
but i promise there won’t come a time
when anything you say could ever navigate
any part of my heart from love
we’ll make a new tradition, love with no conditions
and a heart too full to ever hold that grudge

[chorus]
oh, it’s a dangerous game
honey, when you feed that pain
and you choose pride over love
you’re left holdin’ nothin’ but that grudge
choose pride over love
you’re left holdin’ nothin’ but that grudge

[outro]
choose pride over love
in the end, you’re left holdin’ nothin’ but a grudge
choose pride over love
in the end, you’re left holdin’ nothin’ (but a grudge)
(choose pride over love) choose pride over love
(end, you’re left) holdin’ nothin’ but a grudge
choose pride over love
in the end, you’re left holdin’ nothin’ but a grudge
holdin’ nothin’
holdin’ nothin’
holdin’ nothin’
