Story Behind the Song
Written about how I perceived the disintegration of a band and how I felt through the eyes of a relationship.
Lyrics
I stood by you in doubt. I know what you're all about.
Here comes, here comes the falling out.
We could have been lovers, but there were always others.
It's just again and another, and another again, amen.
Maybe I'm crazy, lazy, and sane,
Maybe I'm the cure, maybe I'm to blame.
But I've never been, never been everything.
Then there was the time when we were older.
I stood there watching, I could have been bolder,
But I stood there and the room grew colder.
It was January, late in the day.
I gave you a dress, you moved away,
And I'm standing in the place we used to play.
Maybe I'm crazy, lazy, and sane,
Maybe I'm the cure, maybe I'm to blame.
But I've never been, never been everything.
I stood by you in doubt. I know what you're all about.
Here comes, here comes the falling out.
It's January, late in the day.
I gave you a dress, you gave it away,
And it's cold here - colder than you.
Maybe I'm crazy, lazy, and sane,
Maybe I'm the cure, maybe I'm to blame.
But I've never been, never been anything.
