Blurring The Edges

Meredith Brooks




Bitch

I hate the world today, your so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you, but you look at me like
Maybe I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet, yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you can be confused, I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
Just when you think you've got me figured out
The season is already changing
I think it's cool you do what you do
And don't try to save me
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When your hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way







Shatter

Prick of the pin, no blood on me
I've been tested, total wasted and too deep
To the zone I retreat
What doesn't kill you makes you strong eventually
Blade to my skin, blurring the edge
Seven doves are waiting for me up ahead
I just breathe in, I just breathe out
I've taken every hairpin curve by now
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but it doesn't matter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack
Promise the world, dropped in a pool
Was it fun? Did you enjoy acting so cool?
Here's the thing, still have my head
I stumbled hard but I'm not sleeping in your bed
Saved by the son, no shame on me
Come out screaming, it's the only time we're free
I just breathe out, I just breathe in
I'd ride the wave until I come again
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but it doesn't matter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Cause I still have a secret
In the dark I keep it closed
I still have a secret no one knows
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Destiny wasted over and over
I may crack but it doesn't matter
In the darkness I won't shatter
Shake down just did in time
It's amazing that I still
I just breathe in, I just breathe out
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Cause I still have a secret
In the dark I keep it closed
I still have a secret no one knows
In the dark I keep it closed
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack





Pollyanne

Here we go again same old argument
You're calling me Miss Pollyanne
You see the world as cruel, and being mad is cool
You think that I don't give a damn
Ya don't have to shout to be heard
Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird
I'd rather show ya signs of peace
Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see
Oh, sentimental me
Fist up in the air, mine used to be up there
You only give yourself away
So paint your roses black and blue
Use the fuck word I can too
When I have nothing else to say
Ya don't have to shout to be heard
Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird
I'd rather show ya signs of peace
Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see
Oh, sentimental me
Sentimental me
Ya don't have to shout to be heard
Who said dark is deep? You'd rather flip the bird
I'd rather show ya signs of peace
Love ain't a dying art as far as I can see
Oh, sentimental me
Sentimental me, sentimental me
Here we go again, we may never change
So you can call me Pollyanne







What Would Happen

Electricity, eye to eye
Hey do I know you? I can't speak
Stripped my senses on the spot
I've never been defenseless
I can't even make sense of this
You speak and I don't hear a word
What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
The room is spinning out of control
You act like you didn't notice, brushed my hand
Forbidden fruit, ring on my finger
Your such a moral moral man
Would you throw it away? A question
Will I pretend I'm innocent?
What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
What would happen if we kissed?
I struggle with myself again
Quickly the walls are crumbling
Don't know if I can turn away
What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth
If we kissed
If we kissed
