Alanis Morissette — I Remain

[Verse 1] How crass you stand before me with no blood to fuel your fame How dare you wield such flippancy without requisite shame Your very existence becomes my sacred mission's bane You bow to kiss my hand and I ignore ignited flame [Chorus 1] How I'm moved to meet you Untouched I do remain [Verse 2] To some it seems foreign, why I would steely forge ahead This land entrusted to me knows not of hallowed secrets I'll keep it to myself while your brave eyes swim in my head Your charm can not distract me from the path I'm born to tread [Chorus 2] How I'm thrilled to know you Unaffected I remained How I've learned to like you Undeterred I do remain [Bridge] Less daunting as team And you unlikely king by my side And me so much better for trusting you [Verse 3] My hand over your heart while you keep hindrances at bay Color me surprised by how our union saves the day [Chorus 3] How I've grown to need you As my soldier need fades How I love to love you And how'd I remain [Outro] I remain I remain I remain I remain I remain
