Alanis Morissette - Lens
If you can, you should try and learn to forgive yourself
Night and day, the world would try and make you someone else
But you’re not alone on the earth tonight
No you’re not alone in the blinking light
Victory will be won and lost a thousand times
So if you can, offer empathy, don’t get lost in pride
Forgive your friends, they are only young
Forgive your friends, like you’ve always done.
‘Cause now is exactly the time
To be out on your own again.
And now is exactly the time
To turn your head from the past
And if you can, try and get to know your parents well
Forgive them too, they are more like you than you can tell
When they give advice, offer sympathy,
They’re just showing you who they wanted to be
And now is exactly the time
To be out on your own again
And now is exactly the time
To turn your head
And now is exactly the time
To be out on your own again
And now is exactly the time
To turn your head from the past
And I can spend a lifetime searching for someone to blame
But don’t look back, don’t feel ashamed
