You Owe Me Nothing In Return Lyrics - Under Rug Swept - Alanis Morissette

I'll give you careless amounts of out right 

Acceptance if you want it. I'll give you 

Encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it. 

You can speak of anger and doubts, 

Your fears and freak-outs and I'll hold it. 

You can share your so-called 

Shame filled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it. 

And there are no strings attached, 

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give. 

You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have. 

I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege, 

And you owe me nothing in return. 

You can ask for space for yourself 

And only yourself and I'll grant it. 

You can ask for freedom as well 

Or time to travel and you'll have it. 

You can ask to live by yourself 

Or love someone else and I'll support it. 

You can ask for anything you want 

Anything at all and I'll understand it. 

I bet you're wondering when 

The next payback shoe will eventually drop. 

I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up. 

I bet you're wondering how far you have now danced your way back into dead. 

This is the only kind of love 

As I understand it that there really is. 

You can express your deepest of truths 

Even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it. 

You can fall into the abyss 

On the way to your bliss 

And I'll empathize with. 

You can say that you'll have to skip town 

To chase your passion and I'll hear it. 

You can even hit rock bottom, have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it.
