Alanis Morissette Pollyanna Flower Lyrics

Pollyanna Flower Lyrics

(through you I see I)

Between a broken nose and a fake smile

Between
piety and gunpowder

Between fighting and fleeing the scene

Between
murder and diplomacy

Between aggression and ?????

Between brutal and
realistically well behaved

Between screaming and pulling in the
reins

Between tiptoeing and ambleing



What am I to do with all this
fire

(I'd like to hit you but I'd never hit you)

Would you stay with me
in this red space

(I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap
you)



Chorus

Between violence and silently seething

Between my
fist and my pollyanna flower

Between "fuck you" to your face and it's
alright

Between war and denial



[chorus]



Between flying
vases and secretly weeping

Between loose cannons and ever
downplaying

Between bruises and rudely differing

Between bursting and
boiling



What am I to do with all this burning

(I'd like to hurt
you but I'd never hurt you)

Do I overwhelm you in this place

(I'd like
to kill you but I'd never kill you)



[chorus]



What am I to do
with all this fire

Can you understand me in this place?
