Everything Lyrics

I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby
And you've never met anyone who's as negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest woman you've ever met
I'm the kindest soul with whom you've connected
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone who's as positive as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you've never met anyone who's as closed down as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

I am the funniest woman that you've ever known
I am the dullest woman that you've ever known
I am the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known
And you've never met anyone as everything as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

And you're still here
And you're still here

Cover art for Everything lyrics by Alanis Morissette

Even when you've done something that you're not proud of or aren't feeling too good about yourself, there are still people around you who are willing to accept your faults and love you for who you are. It's about true friends who see your ups and your downs and will still stick by you no matter what.

Alanis openly admits that she is not a perfect person and even with those imperfection (that to some maybe be a little annoying) her lover is still there for her and accepts and loves every part of who she is.

Loving anything and everything about someone. Both the good and the band. And making it last.

I love this song, but that's the radio editted version. The first line "I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind" is actually "I can be a asshole of the grandest kind" just thought you should clear that up. This song kinda reminds me of me because I'm so everything like her. Alanis is awesome!

being loved for every aspect of who you are, even your flaws and things you might hate about yourself. it's about your lover thinking you can be anything and everything to them.. and after it all, still being there after others might have left. it's beautiful.

I am posting on this song just because I like Alanis' voice. Nice song, good lyrics, obvious meaning, but really a beautiful voice. Way talented.
