R.E.M. - Diminished / I’m Not Over You lyrics

"Diminished"

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 (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)

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 will never hurt anything)

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'm Not Over You"

I feel great, I lied to save your feelings
Truth convened
My head smashed through the ceiling
I lost an arm, no one harmed you
Diplomatically alarmed
I sulked away to lick my thin skin

And I'm not over you i'm not over you
I'm not over you
