Bent for You
Alanis Morissette

You're unsure and you're not ready

So that must mean I want you

You're unavailable and disinterested

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

I'll try to convince you


I have waited for you

And adjusted for you and I'm done

I have deferred to you

And enabled you and I'm done


You're too young or you're too old

Or you're simply not inclined

You're asleep or you're withholding

Be that my cue to crave you


Several times in several ways

I'll try to squeeze love from you

Several hours and several ways

I'll feast on scraps thrown from you


I have bent for you

And I've deprived for you and I'm done

I have depressed for you

And contorted for you and I'm done


I have stifled for you

And I've compromised for you and I'm done

I have silenced for you

And sacrificed for you and I'm done


It won't be long before I am reclaimed

And it won't take long and I'll be on path again

It won't be easy for us to disengage

And I'm at the end of self-deprivation stage


You're 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

I've tried to alter to match you

Several times every several days

I've tried to uncrush on you


I have waited for you

And adjusted for you and I'm done

I have deferred to you

And enabled you and I'm done


I have bent for you

And I've deprived for you and I'm done

I have depressed for you

And I've contorted for you and I'm done
