  • You and I are in the same room
    We both think we're fair
    We both live for truths
    But then how are we to define something so subjective
    Living under the same roof
    So here these battles of wills
    They beg for some proof
    Of right versus wrong
    Your approach seems better than mine
    Though it's working for you all I feel is disconnection

    So now it's your (your) religion 'gainst my (my) religion
    My humble opinion 'gainst yours
    This does not feel like love
    It's your (your) conviction 'gainst my (my) conviction
    And I'd like to know what we've seen
    Through the lens of love, love, love, love

    And so now your grand assessment is that I'm not in your group that I'm not your kind
    And so we're locked in a stalemate with you in your corner and me dismayed in mine

    So now it's your (your) religion 'gainst my (my) religion
    My humble opinion 'gainst yours
    This does not feel like love
    It's your (your) conviction 'gainst my (my) conviction
    And I'd like to know what we've seen
    Through the lens of love, love, love, love

    And this stance keeps us locked in biophilias
    And this lie remains about us being separate
    So now it's your (your) religion 'gainst my (my) religion
    My humble opinion 'gainst yours
    This does not feel like love
    It's your (your) conviction 'gainst my (my) conviction
    And I'd like to know what we've seen
    Through the lens of love, love, love, love Writer/s: ALANIS NADINE MORISSETTE, GUY SIGSWORTH
