Alanis Morissette - Can't Not

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
Why do you affect me?
Why do you affect me still?
Why do you hinder me?
Why do you hinder me still?
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't not walk without my crutches
