Bent For You
lyrics~alanis morissette
you're unsure and you're not ready
so that must mean i want you
you're unavailable and disinterested
to you i look for comfort
a million 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'm done
i have deferred to you and enabled you and i'm 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'm done
i have depressed for you and i've contorted for you
and i'm done
i have stifled for you and compromised for you
and i'm done
i have silenced for you and sacrificed for you
and i'm done
it won't be long before i am reclaimed
it won't take long and i'll be on path again
it won't be easy for us to disengage
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.
