Alanis Morissette – This Grudge Lyrics  Share

From Alanis Morissette's album: So-Called Chaos

Fourteen years
thirty minutes
fifteen seconds I^,ve
held this grudge

Eleven songs
four full journals
thoughts of punishment
I^,ve expended

Not in contact
not a letter
such communication
telepathic
you^,ve been vilified
used as fodder
you deserve a piece
of every record

But who^,s it hurting now?
Who^,s the one that^,s stuck?
Who^,s it torturing now
with an antique knot in her stomach?

I want to 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

Like an abandoned house
dusty covered
furniture
still intact
If I visit it now
will I simply re-live it
somehow gratuitous

[ This Grudge lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/a/alanis-morissette/this-grudge/ ]
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

I want to 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

Maybe as I cut the cord
veils will lift from my eyes
Maybe as I lay this to rest
dead weight off my shoulders will rise

Here I sit
much determined
ever ill-equipped
to draw this curtain
how this has entertained
validated
and has served me well
ever the victim

But who^,s done whining now?
Who^,s ready to put down
this load I^,ve carried longer than I had cared to remember

I want to 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
