Reasons I Drink lyrics - 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, oh

One more hit

It feels so helpful in my need for respite, oh

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, oh

One more sip

It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite, oh

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 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, oh

One more rip

I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit, oh
