Lyrics

Grudges

Strange how we found ourselves exactly where we left off I know you're shaking my hand like it is the first time Are we alright? Are you recounting all my faults? And are you racking your brain just to find them all? Could it be that I've changed? Or did you? Stop asking why Why we had to waste so much time

Well, we just pick up, pick up and start again 'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges Time is a bastard I won't break my neck to get around it But aren't we so brave to give up a fight And let the years go by without us? 'Cause now I feel you by my side And I don't even care if it's been a while I can feel that we've changed and we're better this way

Stop asking why Why we had to waste so much time Well, we just pick up, pick up and start again 'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges And if you wanna call me up or come over Come on, we'll laugh 'til we cry Like we did when we were kids 'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges

Why did it take so long? Why did it take so long? Why did it take us so long to just let go? Why did it take us so long? Stop holding on Stop asking why Why we had to waste so much time Well, we just pick up, pick up and start again 'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges

And if you wanna call me up or come over Come on we'll laugh 'til we cry Like we did when we were kids 'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges We can't keep keep holding on to grudges Could it be that I've changed? Could it be that I've changed? Could it be that I've changed? Could it be that I've changed? Or did you?

    From Dork

    Paramore on Dork

    How Hayley Williams built a solo live world beyond Paramore

    Across debut-packed sets, carefully chosen guests and a Roundhouse show built around release rather than nostalgia, Hayley Williams gave her solo material its own room to breathe.

    Hayley Williams has shared a new video for 'Glum', co-directed with Paramore’s Zac Farro

    The tracks mark her first releases as a fully independent artist.

    Paramore have postponed this week's San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Salt Lake City shows

    It's due to illness within the touring party.

    Inside Paramore's London 'This Is Why' listening party

    When Official Paramore Expert Eleanor Osada said she was heading to the band's London fan listening party we snapped her hand off at the offer of a first-hand account.
