Alanis Morissette – Orchid Lyrics  Share

From Alanis Morissette's album: Flavors Of Entanglement

(Deluxe Edition Track)

Me and my helmet
Such an unconventional kid
All intense and kinetic
At best tolerated from afar

Not yet arrested
And by that I mean betrothed
Though a start I am newly courted
I^,ve just not been trusted with alters

I^,m a sweet piece of work
Well-intentioned, yet disturbed
Wrongly labeled and under-fed
Treated like a rose as an orchid

My friends, as they weigh in
Get understandably protective
They have a hard time being objective
So inside we cancel each other out

I^,m a sweet piece of work
Well-intentioned and unloved
Unlabeled and misunderstood
[ Orchid lyrics from

Treated like a rose as an orchid

You^,ve brought water to me
Making sure my bloom rebounds
You know best of what my special care allows

So I^,ve lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I^,m not
And your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are

For this sweet piece of work
High maintenance and deserted
I^,ve been different and deserving
Treated like a rose as an orchid

Sweet piece of work
Overwhelmed, unobserved
I^,ve been bowed down to, but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid
