Can't Not
Alanis Morissette

I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed

I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation

Would I be letting you win in my non reaction? Yeah

And how would I explain?

And how would I explain this to my children if I had them?


Because I can't not, because I can't not

Because I can't afford to be misread one more time


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

Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough?

And how can I complain?

And how can I complain when I'm the one who reaches for this?


Because I can't not, because I can't not

Because I cannot walk without my crutches

Because I can't not, because I can't not

Because I can't help wonder why you ask me


To all the unheard wisdom in the school yard

You think you're the right ones

You think you're the charmed ones, I'm sure

And how can you go on with such conviction?

And who do you think you are or why do you question me?


Because we can't not, because we can't not

Because we can't help laugh at underestimations

Because we can't not, because we can't not

Because we can't afford to be misled one more time

Because we can't not, because we can't not

Because we cannot help without your willingness


Because we can't not, because we can't not

Because we can't not, because we can't not

Because we can't not


Why do you affect me? Why do you affect me still?

Why do you hinder me? Why do you hinder me still?

Why do you unnerve me? Why do you unnerve me still?

Why do you trigger me? Why do you trigger me still?


Because we can't not, because we can't not

Because we can't not, because we can't not

Because we can't not
