Sympathetic Character Lyrics by Alanis Morissette
(from the album Millenium Hits)
I was afraid youd hit me if Id spoken up.
I was afraid of your physical strength.
I was afraid youd hit below the belt.
I was afraid of your sucker punch.
I was afraid of your reducing me,
I was afraid of your alcohol breath.
I was afraid of your complete disregard for me.
I was afraid of your temper,
I was afraid of handles being flown off.
I was afraid of holes being punched into walls.
I was afraid of your testosterone.
I have as much rage as you have.
I have as much pain as you do.
Ive lived as much hell as you have.
And Ive kept mine bubbling under for you.
You were my best friend
You were my lover.
You were my mentor.
You were my brother.
You were my partner.
You were my teacher.
You were my very own sympathetic character.
I was afraid of verbal daggers.
I was afraid of the calm before the storm.
I was afraid of for my own bones.
I was afraid of your seduction.
I was afraid of your coercion.
I was afraid of your rejection.
I was afraid of your intimidation.
I was afraid of your punishment.
I was afraid of your icy silences.
I was afraid of your volume.
I was afraid of your manipulation.
I was afraid of your explosions.
I have as much rage as you have.
I have as much pain as you do.
Ive lived as much hell as you have.
And Ive kept mine bubbling under for you.
(chorus - chorus)
You were my keeper.
You were my anchor.
You were my family.
You were my savior.
And therein lay the issue.
And therein lay the problem.
