Shrinking Violet lyrics - Ani Difranco

Mostly I'm afraid

Never again will I know

That I can trust your love

Far as I can throw it

Mostly I'm afraid

Never again will I be sure

That while you are sleepwalking you won't

Become what you endured

Mostly I'm afraid of ya

Mostly I'm afraid of ya

Mostly I'm afraid of ya

I sleep with one eye open

And I hold my breath til dawn

I'm no shrinking violet

But I got my head screwed on

You stood over me with a knife

And you tried to take my life

And it's no comfort you don't remember

It's no comfort that you've moved on

There's nothing I can say

Beyond this whispered wish

Your anger has a hunger, mister

And I'm its favorite dish

There's nothing I can say

So I don't make a sound

I just wipe the counter and I

I keep my head down

There's nothing I can say to ya

There's nothing I can say to ya

There's nothing I can say to ya

I sleep with one eye open

And I hold my breath til dawn

No, I'm no shrinking violet

But I got my head screwed on

You stood over me with a knife

And you tried to take my life

And it's no comfort you don't remember

It's no comfort that we've moved on

It's no comfort that we've moved on

It's no comfort that we've moved on
