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 stay to 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 need remind you

But I won’t take it all on

I’ll only take some of it
