Alanis Morissette
Fear of Bliss
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Fear of bliss and
Fear of joytude
Fear of bigness
And ensuing solitude

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Fear of bliss and
Fear of joytude
Fear of bigness
And ensuing solitude

[Bridge]
This talk of liberation makes me want
To go lie down
Under the covers til the terror of the
Unknown is gone

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I've tried to be small
I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all
My happy endings prevented
