What does this lyric from Alanis Morissette's song "You Oughta Know" mean?

Question

"It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me"

Answer 1

She is talking about the cross she bears over their failed relationship.  It's like a battle scar or her suffering for lack of a better term.  She felt she deserved to feel the way she did, he felt she made too much out of it.

Answer 2

the lyrics describe Alanis' fouled relationship with an unnamed lover

Answer 3

LOL I always thought she said crossed eyed bear!  like teddy bear.

I guess the guy she wrote the song about which people suspect is Dave coulver or however you spell it.....gave her a cross then took it away when they broke up.

Answer 4

I always thought it was the like a chain with a cross that her ex-lover gave to her that she wore.

Answer 5

The term "cross I bear" refers to someone's burden in life. The saying developed because Jesus had to carry a cross to his death.

He obviously gave her something in the relationship she now has to deal with the rest of her life. Who knows, maybe it's an STD? lol

Answer 6

"cross eyed bear"?

like if you give someone a stuffed animal, it's supposed to be cute and everything?
