Alanis Morissette Orchid Lyrics

Orchid Lyrics

Me and my helmet

Such an unconventional kid

All intense and kinetic

St 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 underfed

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

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
