I Was Hoping Songtext - Alanis Morissette

As
we were talking outside it was cold we were shivering yet warmed
by the subject matter
My wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know
please don't tell her or anyone
but I need to talk to somebody
You said "wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
five minutes before I died I'd be filled
with such regret before I took my last breath" and I said
"you're willing to tell me this now
and you're not going to die any time soon"
And I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and
you said yes
but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said we're at the
top of the food chain
And yes you're still a fine woman and I cringed
I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together

I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
I too once thought life was cruel
It's a cycle really you think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping
you I think you're insensitive
And I don't feel hard and I said do you believe we are
fundamentally judgmental? Fundamentally evil?
And you said yes I said I don't believe in revenge in right or
wrong good or bad you said
"Well what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the
emergency room bleeding after beating his kid
and she threw a shoe at his head.
I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time
feeling compassion for him"
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.
I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together
