Not All Me

Alanis Morissette

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

I bare 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 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 

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 only take some of it
