Fear of Bliss - Alanis Morissette

My misery has enjoyed company

And although I have ached, I don’t threaten anybody

Sometimes I feel more bigness than I’ve shared with you

Sometimes I wonder why I quell

When I’m not required to

I’ve tried to be small

I’ve tried to be stunted

I’ve tried roadblocks and all

My happy endings prevented

Sometimes I feel it’s all just too big

To be true

I sabotage myself for fear of what

My bigness could do

Fear of bliss and

Fear of joytude

Fear of bigness

And ensuing solitude

I could be golden

I could be glowing

I could be freedom

But that could be boring

Sometimes I feel this is just too scary

To be true

I sabotage myself for fear of losing

You

Fear of bliss and

Fear of joytude

Fear of bigness

And ensuing solitude

This talk of liberation makes me want

To go lie down

Under the covers til the terror of the

Unknown is gone

I could be full

I could be thriving

I could be shining

Sounds isolating

Sometimes I feel this is too good

To be true

I sabotage myself for fear of what

My joy could do

Fear of bliss and

Fear of joytude

Fear of bigness

And ensuing solitude

Fear of bliss and

Fear of joytude

Fear of bigness

And ensuing solitude

I’ve tried to be small

I’ve tried to be stunted

I’ve tried roadblocks and all

My happy endings prevented
