Crazy

about

Crazy started its life as a gentle folky thing. When I was messing around with a loop & a guitar riff one day I needed some lyric to give it shape & the words to Crazy were the first thing that came to mind. They fitted so well I just kept going ...

lyrics

CRAZY

If I act crazy just ignore me
I’ll probably work it out in an hour or two
If I act crazy please forgive me
I never mean to take it out on you
when I act crazy

Sometimes I crawl into myself
like an ostrich I pretend I’m somewhere else
but you, you see through my disguise
through my silence
and through the clouding of my eyes
well I should have known that I
I cold never hide from you
because your love sees right through me
love sees right through me
when I act crazy

Once, once I was a child
and I talked child talk
I learned to pout, I learned to whine
by now you’d think I’d grow out of these gsmes
but it’s amazing how some things sty the same
still I never thought that I
I would learn the lie
that men aren’t supposed to cry
men aren’t supposed to cry
but I act crazy…

… just ignore me
I’ll probably work it out in an hour or two
If I act crazy please forgive me
I never mean to take it out on you
when I act crazy.
