Fear of BlissAlanis Morissette

Songwriter: Alanis Morissette

Producer: Alanis Morissette

[Verse 1]
My misery has enjoyed company
And although I have ached, I don't threaten anybody
Sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you
Sometimes I wonder why I quell
When I'm not required to
I've tried to be small
I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all
My happy endings prevented
Sometimes I feel it's all just too big
To be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what
My bigness could do

[Chorus]
Fear of bliss and
Fear of joytude
Fear of bigness
And ensuing solitude

[Verse 2]
I could be golden
I could be glowing
I could be freedom
But that could be boring
Sometimes I feel this is just too scary
To be true
I sabotage myself for fear of losing
You

[Chorus]
Fear of bliss and
Fear of joytude
Fear of bigness
And ensuing solitude

[Bridge]
This talk of liberation makes me want
To go lie down
Under the covers til the terror of the
Unknown is gone

[Verse 3]
I could be full
I could be thriving
I could be shining
Sounds isolating
Sometimes I feel this is too good
To be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what
My joy could do

[Chorus]
Fear of bliss and
Fear of joytude
Fear of bigness
And ensuing solitude
Fear of bliss and
Fear of joytude
Fear of bigness
And ensuing solitude

[Outro]
I've tried to be small
I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all
My happy endings prevented

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
