Morissette, Alanis - Flinch Lyrics






What's it been over a decade?
It still smarts like it was four minutes ago
We only influenced each other totally
We only bruised each other even more so

What are you my blood? You touch me like you are my blood
What are you my dad? You affect me like you are my dad

How long can a girl be shackled to you
How long before my dignity is reclaimed
How long can a girl stay haunted by you
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name

Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city
My brother saw you somewhere downtown
I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you
My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again

What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god
What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin

How long can a girl be tortured by you?
How long before my dignity is reclaimed
And how long can a girl be haunted by you
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name

So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing
A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in
This man knows not of how this information has affected me
But he knows the colour of the car I just drove away in

What are you my kin? You touch me like you are my kin
What are you my air? You affect me like you are my air

    What's it been over a decade?

    What are you my blood? You touch me like you are my blood
    What are you my dad? You affect me like you are my dad

    How long can a girl be shackled to you
    How long before my dignity is reclaimed
    How long can a girl stay haunted by you
    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name

    Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city
    My brother saw you somewhere downtown
    I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you

    What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god
    What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin

    How long can a girl be tortured by you?
    How long before my dignity is reclaimed
    And how long can a girl be haunted by you
    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name
    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name

    So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing
    A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in
    This man knows not of how this information has affected me
    But he knows the color of the car I just drove away in

    What are you my kin? You touch me like you are my kin
    What are you my air? You affect me like you are my air

  18. c.... p....

    "Flinch" flicker

  19. P.... g....

    "soon i´ll grow up and I wont even flinch at your name..."

  20. S.... P....

    This song by her touched my heart and soul on a very deep, personal level.
    "How long can a girl stay haunted by you?
    Soon I'll grow up & I wont even flinch at your name."

  21. T.... H....

    It's just so good.

  22. a.... ....

    English not being my mother tongue, I always thought she said "you fuck me like you are my dad", and always found it disturbing. :D

    a.... ....

    What the actual fuck?

    a.... ....

    A few of friends thought that when I was playing it to them. Ha!

    a.... ....

    That lyric is what made me Shazam this song the first time I heard it xD

  23. T.... R....

    Fez parte de muitos momentos bons que vivenciei

    T.... R....

    porra nem lembrava mais desse som dela so achei por causa do songpop lembro q tocava direto na extinta Rede Rock aqui da minha cidade e em varias radios de Curitiba

  24. j.... H....

    What are you that song
    I love you as you are my song

  25. A.... D....

    This song is so beautiful and sad at the same time. The lyrics talks about an abusive relationship by the victim's perspective. Alanis is a master of putting emotions into songs, that's why I felt in love with her music. A true and rare musical genius 💗

  26. r.... ....

    It hurts.

  27. s.... m....

    I remember being really into this song when I first bought the album 😃

    s.... m....

    same here <3

    s.... m....

    As soon as I bought the album and heard this song I knew exactly who this was for me. Luckily no more! But heartaches come and go.

  28. M.... G....

    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name....

    M.... G....

    Marisa why are you smiling satan

  29. E.... A....

    Alanis , Compones de dios!!!

  30. a.... ....

    Love it, love it, love it. There was a time when I couldn't listen to this song without collapsing on the floor like a blubbering fool. I've grown up now and don't even flinch at your name, but the song still reduces me to tears...

    a.... ....

    africanscribe yes!

  31. R.... L....

    What are you my kin? You touch me like you are my kin
    What are you my air? You affect me like you are my air

  32. R.... L....

    So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing
    A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in
    This man knows not of how this information has affected me
    But he knows the colour of the car I just drove away in

  33. R.... L....

    Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name

  34. A.... G....

    My love

  35. M.... M....

    This song reminds me soooo much of someone from my past...Alanis has a song for every moment of life!
