Another skip-beat groove like the hit singles 'You Oughta Know' and 'Hand In My Pocket', but this one is more sophisticated in its arrangement and more subtie in its message. "There's no sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor," Morissette sings with a smoldering restraint. "No fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for." Yes, it's another song about a past acquaintance who has let her down, but this time it's a slightly more charitable deluge of criticism, or at least a feeling of mixed emotions. The concluding verse uses the words "get outta here", yet the message is to 'Wake Up'. It's a fair-minded way to finish an album that often seems full of bile and it recognizes that sometimes when people let you down it is through omission rather than action. Does that make it any better? Not necessarily, but--when you've swallowed life's jagged little pill--you can be a better person by forgiving and forgetting the failures of others.
