Story Behind The Song

HAS TO DO WITH EX-FRIENDS AND THEIR GRUDGES AND MY LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF GRUDGES IN GENERAL...

Lyrics

HOLD THAT GRUDGE

Aren’t we a pair? Me down here, you up there
And I can imagine the things that you do
And, though we’re apart, I’m not saying I’m real smart
But, I know a thing or two about you
Someday you’ll wake up and discover you’re old
And you’ll reach for your heart, but your heart will be cold

And if you hold that monster long enough
It’s gonna turn on you...it’s gonna eat you up
And the thing that I’ll always retain about you
Is how you hold that grudge

In this little town time goes faster. I’ve slowed down
But those were some truly amazing years
We weren’t prepared. When it all came down no one was spared
And each cried his own invisible tears
The twists and the turns that no one could conceive
I tell them the stories they never believe

And I will always respond, if you inquire of me
That it’s a terrible waste of human energy
And the thing that I’ll always remember about you
Is how you hold that grudge
And if you hold that monster long enough
It’s gonna turn on you, it’s gonna eat you up
And the thing that I’ll always remember about you
Is how you hold that grudge

We deal with the pain. I stay busy. I maintain
That there is a reason to do what I do
And life races by. I can’t stop it. I don’t try
But sometimes I pause and think about you
It’s not you or me; only time is to blame
When indifference sets in it’s never the same

And when I’m sailing around that mysterious cape
I will remember your face but your name will escape
But the thing that I’ll never forget about you
Is how you hold that grudge
And I will always respond, if you inquire of me
That it’s a terrible waste of human energy
And the thing that I’ll never forget about you
Is how you hold that grudge
And if you hold that monster long enough
It’s gonna turn on you...it’s gonna eat you up
And the thing that I’ll always remember about you
Is how you hold that grudge

Hold that grudge
Hold that grudge
Hold that grudge
Hold that grudge
Hold that grudge
Hold that grudge
