alanis morissette // front row

i’m too tired to recount the unpleasantries one by
one minute i want to banish you the next i want to be on
a deserted island with you along
with my three favourite cd’s ambivalent yet in your
bed we’ve yet to acknowledge what really happened

and i laughed until my lungs hurt
and i love how you bust my chops
 you don’t always feel seen sometimes you feel erasable unfortunately
i cannot reciprocate in my current state i think we should be careful of
how much time we spend together

you never meant to be ungrateful nor held up to
be whipped or wept for certainly not analyzed prodded at more ways than one
apparently you’ve been misrepresented dealing with the concept of arrows being
slung towards your outrageous fortune

oh the things i’ve done for you many a stitch a friend a man’s
been left for you oh the books i’ve read for you the tongues i’ve bitten for you many
a new city for you many a risk taken for you (not a single regret)
