The fact of being replaced by someone after all that you have been through is really hard. You would feel abused mentally, emotionally and sometimes, physically and you have to pick up what is left of you. Though there is a known cure for a broken-heart, the prescription what is known as moving on, some would not still accept the fact that he or she is dumped and then replaced.

The bitter ones, the one who were left behind would compare the deeds of the pasts and the present. A perfect example of a lover's bitterness blended in one song is Alanis Morisette's 'You Oughta Know'. The song was written by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, the producer of Morisette's 1995 Album Jagged-Little Pill. The song's lyrics was rumored to be about Alanis' relationship with David Couler of Full House. It was harshly written, full of angst and Alanis sang it as how they wrote it.

Here is the lyrics for you to follow the song. Better leave a loved one happy, or they will compose an angst-ridden song like Alanis did.


I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

Well, I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
