[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

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
