I Hold No Grudge - Nina Simone

Remember when we used to sing, baby Up in your room, before your mother got home? There was a sound to our innocence Our voices were lovers in the same bed Now I'm not sure how they would sound, isn't it sad? Now that the ocean's all waves, and the diamonds are blood There's a new girl on your song I didn't know that I could be replaced Years ago, I tried to get a message to you But I never heard back I never heard back Where did we go wrong? Our haven was always in a song But just when I go to close the gates Permanently, I realize that it isn't me No, I don't keep a list, can't hold a grudge Don't you think that we both might've done some growin' up? Well, I know that some shit was said and done But it's such a different world now, I can't hate anyone Remember when we woke at dawn? Saw the silver sun in your old Citroën? And remember when we took them on? Stoners on the run, How the West Was Won Remember when we used to swim, baby No one around, take off all our clothes? And in a clear cold, we were born again I used to count down to your birthday Now I'm not sure if it's June or July, isn't that sad? Where did we go wrong? Our haven was always in a song (mmm) But just when I go to close the gates Permanently, I realize that it isn't me No, I don't keep a list, can't hold a grudge (hold no grudge) Don't you think that we both might've done some growin' up? Yeah, I know that some shit was said and done (said and done) But it's such a different world now, I can't hate anyone Remember when we woke at dawn? Saw the silver sun in your old Citroën? And remember when we took them on? Stoners on the run, How the West Was Won Actin' my age, not my horoscope Guess that's growin' up Now I'm sending you love And wishing you well Wherever you are

I have nightmares each week about that Friday in May One phone call from you and my entire world was changed Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers You took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did But I hold on to every detail like my life depends on it My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge And I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream How could anybody do the things you did so easily? And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried For so long It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong The arguments that I have won against you in my head In the shower, in the car and in the mirror before bed Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone and I make you feel so guilty And I fantasize about a time you're a little fuckin' sorry And I try to understand why you would do this all to me You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy And I know in my heart, hurt people, hurt people And we both drew blood, but, man, those cuts were never equal And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream How could anybody do the things you did so easily? And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried For so long It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong Ooh Do you think I deserved it all? Ooh Your flower's filled with vitriol You built me up to watch me fall You have everything and you still want more I try to be tough, I try to be mean But even after all this, you're still everything to me And I know you don't care, I guess that that's fine But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried For so long It takes strength to forgive, but I'm not quite sure I'm there yet It takes strength to forgive, but

Take your fears and let them down Break your chains and live the moment Drop your weights and hop the mounts Jump the borders and cross the roads So turn off the light and let you lead Follow your heart and come with me Watching the stars and our movies The moon, this place, our memories Our memories Our memories So now I hold you on this hill And I will guide your heart to be blown away Don't be afraid by the new things Don't be so shy and talk to people 'Cause if you stay always at home You cannot live and feel your soul So close your eyes and feel the wind Warm your heart and graze your skin Take my hand and just believe In time, in fate and all those things And all those things And all those things So now I hold you on this hill And I will guide your heart to be blown away And I will guide your heart To be blown away (to be blown away) Nothing happen if you're not free And don't listen to your mind screaming That love is a key for happiness In time, fate and all those things And all those things And all those things So now I hold you on this hill And I will guide your heart to be blown away And I will guide your heart

If I had another chance tonight I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right Time can't erase the love we shared But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared Now you're gone, I'm really not the same I guess I have myself to blame Time can't erase the things we said But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead You know I won't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found You know I can't hold you back now Now that I'm alone it gives me time To think about the years that you were mine Time can't erase the love we shared But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared You know I won't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found (Listen to me baby) You know I can't hold you back now (Ohhh-ohh-ohh) You know I won't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found You know I can't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found You know I can't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found You know I won't hold you back now

Carry me in pieces Nothing is complete you know If I need ever search you now and then And I can't be saved I guess I'm better off that way If I need ever search you now and then And I cannot be saved I guess I'm better off that way If I need ever search you now and then And I can't be saved I guess I'm better off that way How can you see me? How can you see me? How can you see me? How can you see me? That way How can you see me? What have I said? Hold me to the light (That way) Tell me you know And if we could laugh Don't ever let go What have I said? Hold me to the light Tell me you know And if we could laugh Don't ever let go Some places whisper to me Some faces ripple through me What have I said? Scaring me in pieces Nothing is complete you know If I need ever search you now and then And I can't be saved I guess I'm better off that way Please carry me in pieces Nothing is complete you know If I need ever search you now and then And I can't be saved I guess I'm better off that way Hold me to the light Light Hold me to the light Tell me you know And if we could laugh Don't ever let go Hold me to the light Tell me you know And if we could laugh Don't ever let go
