ALANIS MORISSETTE - Flinch lyrics

rate me

What's it been over a decade? <br>It still smarts like it was four minutes ago<br>We only influenced each other totally<br>We only bruised each other even more so<br><br>What are you my blood? you touch me like you are my blood<br>What are you my dad? you affect me like you are my dad<br><br>How long can a girl be shackled to you<br>How long before my dignity is reclaimed<br>How long can a girl stay haunted by you<br>Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name<br>Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name<br><br>Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city<br>My brother saw you somewhere downtown<br>I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you<br>My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again<br><br>What are you my god? you touch me like you are my god<br>What are you my twin? you affect me like you are my twin<br><br>How long can a girl be tortured by you? <br>How long before my dignity is reclaimed<br>And how long can a girl be haunted by you<br>Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name<br>Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name<br><br>So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing<br>A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in<br>This man knows not of how this information has affected me<br>But he knows the colour of the car I just drove away in<br><br>What are you my kin? you touch me like you are my kin<br>What are you my air? you affect me like you are my air
