Lyrics Bent 4 U - Alanis Morissette

Bent 4 U

Youre unsure and youre not ready so that must mean I want you
Youre unavailable and disinterested and to you I look for comfort
A million times in a million ways I will try to change you
A million months and a million days Ill try to somehow convince you
I have waited for you and adjusted for you and Im done
I have deferred to you and enabled you and Im done
Youre too young or youre too old or youre simply not inclined
Youre asleep or youre withholding be that my cue to crave you
Several times in several ways Ill try to squeeze love from you
Several hours and several ways Ill feast on scraps thrown from you
I have bent for you and Ive deprived for you and Im done
I have depressed for you and contorted for you and Im done
I have stifled for you and Ive compromised for you and Im done
I have silenced for you and sacrificed for you and Im done
It wont be long before I am reclaimed
It wont take long and Ill be on path again
It wont be easy for us to disengage
Im at the end of self deprivation stage
Youre afraid of every woman afraid of your inner workings
You cringe at the thought of living under the same roof as me God and everything
A million times and a million ways Ive tried to alter to match you
Several times every several days Ive tried to uncrush on you
