[Verse 1]
"I am someone easy to leave"
"Even easier to forget"
A voice, if inaccurate

[Verse 2]
Again: "I'm the one they all run from"
Diatribes of clouded sun
Someone help me find the pause button

[Chorus]
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

[Verse 3]
"I'm too exhausting to be loved"
"A volatile chemical"
"Best to quarantine and cut off"

[Chorus]
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

[Verse 4]
"I'm but a thorn in your sweet side"
"You'd be better off without me"
"It'd be best to leave at once"

[Chorus]
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

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.
