Alanis Morissette Excuses Lyrics

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

These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe, they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell

I'm too far from home
It takes far too much energy
I cannot afford to
No one will ever see me

These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe, they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell

These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked, they've kept me small
They've kept me safe inside my shell

Bringing these into the light
Shakes their foundation and clears my sight
Now my imagination is the only thing that limits
The bar and its 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 never be happy

These excuses how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe, they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell

These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked, they've kept me small
They've kept me safe inside my shell
