Can't Not Lyrics - Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - Alanis Morissette

I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed 

I might be proving you right 

With my silence or my retaliation 

Would I letting you win in my non reaction? yeah! 

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 afford 

To be misread one more time 

Would I be whining if I said I needed a hug? 

Would you feel slighted 

If I said your love's not enough? 

How can I complain? 

How can I complain 

When I'm the one who reaches for it? 

Because I can't not 

Because I can't not 

Because I cannot walk without my crutches 

Because I can't not 

Because I can't not 

Because I can't help wonder why you ask me 

To all the unheard wisdom in the schoolyard 

You think you're the right ones 

You think you're the charmed ones I'm sure 

How can you go on with such conviction? 

And who do you think you are 

Why do you question me? 

Because we can't not 

Because we can't not 

Because we can't help 

Laugh at our underestimations 

Because we can't not 

Because we can't not 

Because we can't afford 

To be misled one more time 

Because we can't not 

Because we can't not 

Because we cannot help 

Without your willingness 

Why do you affect me? why do you affect me still? 

Why do you hinder me? why do you hinder me still? 

Why do you unnerve me? why do you unnerve me still? 

Why do you trigger me? why do you trigger me still?
