  • I've never been this accountable-less and within
    I've never known focusless-ness of any form
    I've never had this lack of ache for dalliance
    To let go and let God in ways I have never even imagined

    I declare a moratorium on things relationship
    I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
    I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
    I declare a full time out from all things commitment

    I've never let my grasp soften fingers like this
    I've never been careless otherless like autonomy's twin

    I declare a moratorium on things relationship
    I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
    I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
    I declare a full time out from all things commitment

    Hard to breathe
    Stop looking outside
    Stop searching in corners of rooms
    Not my business or timing
    How

    I've never known freedom from intertwining
    I start again this time for keeps in my skin I'm residing

    I declare a moratorium on things relationship
    I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
    I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
    I declare a full time out from all things commitment

    I declare a moratorium on things relationship
    I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
    I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
    I declare a full time out from all things commitment Writer/s: Alanis Morissette, Guy Sigsworth
