Excuses Lyrics - So Called Chaos - Alanis Morissette

Why no one will help me 

I am too dumb I am too smart 

They'll not understand me 

I am lonely 

They'll hate me 

And there is not enough time 

It's too hard to help me 

And god wants me to work 

No resting no lazy 

[Chorus] 

These excuses how they served me so well 

They've kept me safe 

They've kept me stoic 

They've kept me locked in my own cell 

I'm too far from home 

It takes far too much energy 

And I cannot afford to 

No one will ever see me 

[Chorus] 

These excuses how they're so familiar 

They've kept me small 

They've kept me blocked 

They've kept me safe inside my shell 

Bringing this into the light 

Shakes their foundation 

And it clears my side 

Now my imagination 

Is the only thing that limits 

The bar that is raised 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'll never be happy 

[Chorus] 

These excuses how they're so familiar 

They've kept me small 

They've kept me stoic 

They've kept me locked inside my cell
