Alanis Morissette "Madness" lyrics

Madness

I've been most unwillingTo see this turmoil of mineThe thought of sitting with thisHas me paralyzed

With this prolonged exposureTo near and averted eyesI think that I've been waitingSuch mileage for empathizing

Now I see the madness in meIs brought out in the presence of youNow I know the madness lives onWhen you're not in the roomThough I'd love to blame you for allI'd miss these moments of opportuneYou simply brought this madness to lightAnd I should thank you

Oh, thank youMuch thanks for this bird's eye viewOh, thank youFor your most generous triggers

It's been all too easyTo cross my arms and roll my eyesThe thought of dropping all armsLeaves me terrified

And now I see the madness in meIs brought out in the presence of youNow I know the madness lives onWhen you're not in the roomThough I'd love to blame you for allI'd miss these moments of opportuneYou simply brought this madness to lightAnd I should thank you

Oh, thank youMuch thanks for this bird's eye viewOh, thank youFor your most generous triggers

I'd have to give up knowingAnd give up being rightYou, inadvertent heroYou, angel in disguise

And now I see the madness in meIs brought out in the presence of youAnd now I know the madness lives onWhen you're not in the roomAnd though I'd love to blame you for allI'd miss these moments of opportuneYou simply brought this madness to lightAnd I should thank you

Oh, thank youMuch thanks for this bird's eye viewOh, thank youFor your most generous triggers
