r.e.m. - 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 defence
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?
do they know i sing that song? sing along
sing along
sing along
(i will never hurt anything)

i watched you fall.
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 love 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?
do they know i sing that song? sing along
sing along
sing along
(i will never hurt anything)
i have given myself away
i will give 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?
