Alanis Morissette - Bent for You Lyrics
Official




You're unsure and you're not ready
So that must mean I want you
You're unavailable and disinterested
And to you I look for comfort
A milllion times in a million ways, I will try to change you
A million months and a million days, I'll try to convince you.

I have waited for you and adjusted for you, and I am done
I have deferred to you and enabled you, and I am done.

You're too young or you're too old
Or you're simply not inclined
You're asleep or you're withholding
Be that my cue to crave you.

Several times in several ways, I'll try to squeeze love from you
Several hours and several ways, I'll feast on scraps thrown from you.

I have bent for you and I've deprived for you, and I am done
I have depressed for you and contorted for you, and I am done
I have stifled for you and compromised for you, and I am done
I have silenced for you and sacrificed for you, and I am done.

It won't be long before I am reclaimed, and
It won't take long and I'll be on path again
It won't be easy for us to disengage, and
I'm at the end of self-deprivation stage.

You're afraid of every woman
Afraid of your inner workings
You cringe at the thought of living under the same
Roof as me, God, and everything.

A million times and a million ways, I've tried to alter to match you
Several times, every several days, I've tried to uncrush on you.

I have waited for you and adjusted for you, and I am done
I have deferred to you and enabled you, and I am done
I have bent for you and I've deprived for you, and I am done
I have depressed for you and I've contorted for you, and I am done.
