Alanis Morissette - Your Congratulations Lyrics
I wouldnt have compromised as much.So much of myself for fear of having you hating me.I wouldve sung so loudly,It wouldve cracked myself.I became so self-conscious of anything exuberant.I wouldnt have sold myself short.I wouldnt have kept my eyes glued to the ground.If I hadve known my invisibility would not make a difference,I wouldve run around screaming proudly at the top of my voice.I wouldnt have said it was in fact luck,Im talking idealism here.I would not have been so self-deprecating,I wouldnt have cowered for fear of having my eyes scratched out.I wouldnt have cut my comfort off.I wouldnt have feigned needlessness.I would not have discredited every one of their compliments.It was your approval I wanted.Your congratulations.
