Songwriter: Alanis Morissette
For denying myself to somehow make us compatible
And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was
No one’s been crueler than I've been to me
And I’m sorry to myself
No one’s been crueler than I've been to me
For helping you and myself, not even considering
For treating me worse than I would anybody else
I'm sorry to myself
For treating me worse than I would anybody else
For ignoring you, my highest voices
No one’s been crueler than I've been to me
For treating me worse than I would anybody else
For beating myself up and over functioning
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter
I'm sorry to myself
For trying to fit a rectangle into a hall
And I’m sorry to myself
I’m sorry to myself
No one’s been crueler than I've been to me
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Forgetting you or forgetting myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
And not letting go when it would've been the kindest thing
For being so disassociated from my body
Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest

To whom do I owe the first apology?
For hearing all my doubts so selectively
My apologies begin here before everybody else
And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be
For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
I’m sorry to myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I would've naturally loved the former
My apologies begin here before everybody else
For treating me worse than I would anybody else
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious
For blaming myself for your unhappiness
For myself love being so embarrassingly conditional
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
I’m sorry to myself
For continuing my numbing relentlessly
I’m sorry to myself
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready
