Soul Sistah-
ALANIS MORISSETTE
Sorry To Myself
For hearing all my doubts so selectively and
For continuing my numbing love endlessly.
For helping you and myself: not even considering
For beating myself up and overfunctioning.
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.
For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
For myself love being so embarassingly conditional.
And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible
and for trying to fit a rectangle into a ball.
And
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.
I'm sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
I'm sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
For blaming myself for your unhappiness
and for my impatience when I was perfect where I was.
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready,
and expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be.
To whom do I owe the first apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.
And
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ?
Forgetting you or forgetting myself...
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter,
I would’ve naturally loved the former.
For ignoring you: my highest voices.
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious.
For being so disassociated from my body,
and for not letting go when it would’ve been the kindest thing.
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.
And
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else

Found this song and it really... *sigh*
I'm going to learn guitar, I'm getting lessons!!!!
I'm going to write music and play it and all will be well.
Even if it's just a hobby. I'm going to do it!

This song is amazing. I recommend it, musically it's nothing amazing, she has better, but it's like she's singing it in a talking manner, telling you what's happened, her life, but just a little more musical. Maybe she's talking to herself, it feels like she's talking to me to be honest.
