5 SYMPATHETIC CHARACTER (5:11)

I was afraid you'd hit me if i'd spoken up I was
afraid of your physical strength I was afraid
you'd hit below the belt I was afraid of your
sucker punch I was afraid of you reducing me
I was afraid of your alcohol breath I was afraid
of your complete disregard for me I was afraid
of your temper I was afraid of handles being
flown off of I was afraid of holes being punched
into walls I was afraid of your testosterone

I have as much rage as you have
I have as much pain as you do
I've lived as much hell as you have
and i've kept mine bubbling under for you

you were my best friend
you were my lover
you were my mentor
you were my brother
you were my partner
you were my teacher
you were my very own sympathetic character

I was afraid of verbal daggers I was afraid of the
calm before the storm I was afraid for my own
bones I was afraid of your seduction I was afraid
of your coersion I was afraid of your rejection
I was afraid of your intimidation I was afraid of
your punishment I was afraid of your icy silences
I was afraid of your volume I was afraid of your
manipulation I was afraid of your explosions

I have as much rage as you have
I have as much pain as you do
I've lived as much hell as you have
and i've kept mine bubbling under for you

chorus * chorus
you were my keeper
you were my anchor
you were my family
you were my saviour
and therein lay the issue
and therein lay the problem

5 CARACTER SIMPATICO (5:11)
Letra y música: Alanis Morissette.

Tenía miedo que me pegases si hubiera hablado tenía
miedo de tu fuerza física tenía miedo
que pegases suciamente tenía miedo de tu 
puño inocente tenia miedo de que me redujeras
tenía miedo de tu aliento a alcohol tenía miedo
de tu completo descuido por mi tenía miedo
de tu temperamento tenía miedo de que te
salieras de las casillas tenía miedo de los agujeros en las 
paredes a los golpes tenía miedo de tu testosterona

Tengo tanta rabia como vos tenés
Tengo tanto dolor como vos
He vivido tanto infierno como vos 
y he mantenido el mio burbujeando subyugado por vos**

eras mi mejor amigo
eras mi amante
eras mi mentor
eras mi hermano
eras mi compañero
eras mi maestro
eras mi muy propio carácter simpático*

Tenía miedo de los puñales verbales tenía miedo de la
calma después de la tormenta tenía miedo de mis propios
huesos tenía miedo de tu seducción tenía miedo de tu rechazo
tenía miedo de tu intimidación tenía miedo de 
tu castigo tenía miedo de tus silencios de hielo
tenía miedo de tu volumen de voz tenía miedo de
tu manipulación tenía miedo de tus explosiones

Tengo tanta rabia como vos tenés
Tengo tanto dolor como vos
He vivido tanto infierno como vos 
y he mantenido el mio burbujeando debajo por vos

coros * coros
eras mi guardián
eras mi mi ancla
eras mi familia
eras mi salvador
y en eso yace el tema
y en eso yace el problema
