Cant Not — текст песни (Alanis Morissette)

Id be lying if I said I was completely unscathed,

Would I be putting it right with my silence and rage

Would I be letting you in; invite a reaction, yeah?

And how would I explain

How would I explain this to my children if I had them?



Because I cant not

Because I cant not

Because I cant not win without my losing, my dear



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

Would you feel slighted if I said your loves not enough?

And how dare I complain?

And how dare I complain when you want for a chance for this?



Because I cant not

Because I cant not

Because I cant help laugh at your delusions

Because I cant not

Because I cant not

Because I cant help wonder why you ask me



To all the unheard children in the school yard

You think youre the right ones

You swear youre the charmed ones Im sure

But how can you go on with such conviction?

Who do you think you are when you question me?



Because we cant not

Because we cant not

Because we cant help laugh at your delusions

Because we cant not



Why do you affect me?

Why do you affect me still?

Why do you hinder me?

Why do you hinder me still?



Because I cant not

Because I cant not

Because I cant not walk without my crutches
