Your Congratulations Lyrics by Alanis Morissette

(from the album Live Junkie)

No ratings yet

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.
