Alanis Morrisette
Would I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed
Would I be putting it right with my silence and rage
Would I be letting you in; invite a reaction, yeah?
And how would I explain
How would I explain this to my children if I had them?
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't not win without my losing, my dear
Would it be whining if I
said I needed a hug?
Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough?
And how dare I complain?
And how dare I complain when you want for a chance for this?
Because I can't
not
Because I can't not
Because I can't help laugh at your delusions
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't help wonder why you ask me
To all the unheard children in the
school yard
You think you're the right ones
You swear you're the charmed ones I'm sure
But how can you go on with such conviction?
Who do you think you are when you question me?
Because we can't not
Because we can't not
Because we can't help laugh at your delusions
Because we can't not
Because we can't not
Because we can't help wonder why you ask us
Why do you offend me?
Why do you offend me still?
Why do you compare me?
Why do you compare me still?
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't not walk without my crutches.
Whenever we talk about sun all I see is the rain
It's like looking for tears in a ocean
I'm hearing your words like the wind
They blow straight through my heart
Will you ever give in to emotion
And we hurt the ones that we love the most
Why we do only heaven knows
And I don't know why I'm still holding on...holding on
I reach in my heart to see
If your love is alive in me
But now I feel alone
My feelings turn to stone
My heart makes no apologies
When an apology's made it isn't always enough
To erase all the past in a moment
Whenever I need you the most
You always leave me behind
With a word from your lips I'm alone
You've been blind not to realize
All the love that I hold inside
So tell me why do I keep holding on...holding on
What I need is your sympathy
Like a light flowing into me
But I will never give up holding on...holding on
My heart makes no
apologies no no
my feelings turn to stone...
I make no apologies
Can't Deny
