That Particular Time Lyrics - Under Rug Swept - Alanis Morissette

My foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish 

My departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots 

At that particular time love had challenged me to stay 

At that particular moment I knew not run away again 

That particular month I was ready to investigate with you 

At that particular time 

We thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated 

We thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding 

At that particular time love encouraged me to wait 

At that particular moment it helped me to be patient 

That particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant 

I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself 

And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell 

And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt 

And in the meantime I lost myself 

In the meantime I lost myself 

I'm sorry I lost myself, I am 

You knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction 

You felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted 

At that particular love encouraged me to leave 

At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me 

That particular month was harder than you'd believe but I still left 

At that particular time
