Diminished / I’m Not Over You Songtext
von R.E.M.

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 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
