Alanis Morissette - Excuses Lyrics

Send "Excuses" ringtones to your cell

Why no one will help me:
I'm too dumb
I'm too smart
They'll not understand me
I'm lonely
They'll hate me.

There is not enough time
It's too hard to help me
God wants me to work
No resting, no lazy.

These excuses - how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe, they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell.

I'm too far from home
It takes far too much energy
I cannot afford to
No one will ever see me.

These excuses - how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe, they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell.

These excuses - how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked, they've kept me small 
They've kept me safe inside my shell.

Bringing these into the light
Shakes their foundation and clears my sight
Now my imagination is the only thing that limits
The bar and its rise to the heights.

No one can have it all
See, I have to
They want me to
I can't let them down
I will never be happy.

These excuses - how they've served me so well
They've kept me safe, they've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell.

These excuses - how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked, they've kept me small 
They've kept me safe inside my shell.
