It's Not All My Fault

So I was trying to figure out a way to post only the song but I had to settle for this weirdly homemade video. What's important is the song anyway.

I love Alanis Morissette and I listen to her quite a bit. For some reason I had never heard this song until this past week. Quite appropriate. I think we often go to extremes in our dealings with people and either take complete fault or none at all, when really we fall somewhere in the middle.

So for that, It's not all me. It's not all my fault. I may remind you but I won't take it all.



Also, She's having an online concert on July 24th at 1pm CST here.

Below are the lyrics to "Not All Me" so you can follow along with crazy Alanis's voice.

I wear their face on top of my face
I am the perfect target screen for your blindly fueled rage

I bear the brunt of your long-buried pain
I don't mind helping you out but I want you to remember my name

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

past-riddled riddled rage I see the buttons I engage
with my dignity in place I'm all too happy to assuage

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

Lest I find my voice find the strength to stand up to you
Lest I state my limit and take on only what is mine to

We are a team I'm here to help mend and re-seam
All I trigger unknowingly a job I hold in high esteem

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on
I'll take only some of it
