Reasons I Drink Songtext
von Alanis Morissette

These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I′m fine
Even though I am not
These are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember
Since I was single digits

Now
Even though I've been busted
I don′t know where to draw the line
'Cause that groove has gotten so deep

And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do

Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more hit
It feels so helpful in my need for respite


And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply
When I'm not medicated
And so that′s it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To make up for these habits
To survive this sick industry

Nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do

Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite

And these are the reasons I don′t even think I would quit
And these are the reasons I can't even see straight, and
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And I am left wondering how I would function without it

Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more rip
I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit
