Diminished lyrics

I watched you fall

I think I pushed

Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe diminished

Maybe I'm innocent

Maybe I'm finished

Maybe I blacked out

How do I play this?

I will give my best today

I will give myself away

I have never hurt anything

Is the jury wavering?

Do they know I sing?

Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe diminished

How do I

How do I play this?

Jealous lover, self defense

Protective brother, chemical dependence

I'll consult the I ching, I'll consult the TV

Ouija, oblique strategies

I'll consult the law books for precedents

Can I charm the jury?

I will give my best today

I will give myself away

I have never hurt anything

Is the justice wavering?

Does she know I sing

That song?

Sing along

Sing along

Sing along

I watched you fall

I think I pushed

Maybe they'll see me

Maybe they'll say

I can see the truth in his statement

Smallpox blanket, no way

Can I charm the jury, my defense?

Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe diminished

Maybe I loved you

Baby I loved you

Baby I loved you

Baby I loved you

Baby I'm finished

I will give my best today

I will give myself away

I have never hurt anything

Is the justice wavering?

Does she know I sing

That song?

Sing along

(I will never hurt anything)

Sing along

(I will never hurt anything)

Sing along

I have given myself away

I have given my best today

I have never hurt anything

Is the justice wavering?

Does she know I loved you?

Does she know I loved you?

Does she know I sing?

I feel great I lied

To save your feelin's

Truth can be my

Hands smashed through

The ceilin'

I lost an arm

No one harmed you

Diplomatically alarmed her

Sobbed away through my, my thin skin

And I am not over you

I am not over you

I am not over you
