Lyrics
Grudge
Copyright Ric Seaberg July 2012
Wish I was better at holding a grudge
Like angry people do
We'd never speak or drink some beers
And that would last for thirty years
Cuz when you broke my heart today
And did not fix it right away
C'mon people be the judge
Does that not require a grudge?
Wish I was better at holding a grudge
Instead of letting go
Jimmy got mad in ninety three
And he still holds a grudge on me
Cuz when I wake up to the sun
I just want to love someone
But Jimmy does not want to budge
Jim knows how to hold a grudge!
Solo
Bridge
I believed your love was true
But now ya tell me we are through
Maybe I won't feel so blue
And hold a long term grudge on you
Wish I was better at holding a grudge
Yeah that would take some guts
Keep a little more hate in my heart
And think forgiveness sucks
Cuz when you gave your ring to me
That caused me such misery
But since I once gave you my love
I just cannot hold a grudge
