Bent For You Lyrics - 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
