Alanis Morissette - Sorry To Myself

For hearing all my doubts so selectively and

For continuing my numbing love endlessly.

For helping you and myself: not even considering

For beating myself up and overfunctioning.



To whom do I owe the biggest apology?

No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.



For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable

For myself love being so embarassingly conditional.

And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible

And for trying to fit a rectangle into a ball.



And

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?

No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.



I’m sorry to myself.

My apologies begin here before everybody else.

I’m sorry to myself.

For treating me worse than I would anybody else.



For blaming myself for your unhappiness

And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was.

Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready,

And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be.



To whom do I owe the first apology?

No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.



And

I’m sorry to myself.

My apologies begin here before everybody else.

I’m sorry to myself.

For treating me worse than I would anybody else.



Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ?

Forgetting you or forgetting myself...

Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter,

I would’ve naturally loved the former.



For ignoring you: my highest voices.

For smiling when my strife was all too obvious.

For being so disassociated from my body,

And for not letting go when it would’ve been the kindest thing.



To whom do I owe the biggest apology?

No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.



And

I’m sorry to myself.

My apologies begin here before everybody else

I’m sorry to myself.

For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

I’m sorry to myself.

My apologies begin here before everybody else

I’m sorry to myself.

For treating me worse than I would anybody else
