Morissette, Alanis

Album:  So-Called Chaos

Title:  Excuses

Why no one will help me

I'm too dumb

I'm too smart

They'll not understand me

I'm lonely

They'll hate me

There is not enough time

It's too hard to help me

God wants me to work

No resting

No lazy


How they've served me so well




I'm too far from home,

It takes far too much energy

I cannot afford to,

No one will ever see me












Bringing these into the light shakes their foundations

and clears my sight

Now my imagination is the only thing that limits

the bar and it's rise to the heights

No one can have it all

see I have to,

They want me to and

I can't let them down

I will ne'er be happy
