Are these lyrics to Thank You by Alanis Morisette.
Geez, I played this CD OUT when I was dumped by my first boyfriend and finally let it all go. Listening to this song again makes me realize how important all of life's ups and downs are in the grand scheme of things. If I were to be thankful for anything these days it would be that I finally get that! I often think about that version of me crying my eyes out in my dorm room thinking that life would never be the same again without him. Oh you foolish little girl..life got so much better . I met the love of my life, lost that, gained weight, lost that, started a business, made furniture, met cool peeps, went to graduate school, quit that, went again, quit that, went again, loved that, found my true passion, moved, yelled, cried, mourned, laughed, lost, gained, and saw. Boy, if I ever ran into her, I would hand her a tissue and tell her that life is a beautiful roller coaster ride--your heart leaves your chest and you slide down that steep incline. The beauty is, you go on to experience the highest high ever.
How bout getting off of these antibiotics
How bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How bout them transparent dangling carrots
How bout that ever elusive kudo
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
How bout me not blaming you for everything
How bout me enjoying the moment for once
How bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How bout grieving it all one at a time
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down
How bout no longer being masochistic
How bout remembering your divinity
How bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How bout not equating death with stopping
Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence
