Lyrics
It was four a.m., I couldn't sleep
Struggling to sleep at 4 a.m.
So I did my hair and I fixed a drink
Grooming oneself and having a drink
Sat on the porch with my guitar
Sitting outside with a guitar
Sang about how you broke my heart
Singing about a heartbreak
Singing "la la la la la la"
Repetitive singing or humming
I went and tore your pictures up
Destroying pictures of the person
Built a fire in my bathtub
Creating a fire in an unusual place
Painted my toes while I watched them burn
Painting nails while observing the fire
Then put out the flames with your t-shirt
Extinguishing the fire with a t-shirt
If you think that sounds crazy, then you should've seen me
Implying unusual behavior
Sitting by the phone, all those nights alone
Waiting by the phone regularly
Believing lies you told me, thinking I'm your only
Believing false statements from the person
Putting off my friends to be with you again
Ignoring friends for the person
Forgiving when you say "I love you, baby"
Forgiving the person's declarations of love
That's what I call crazy
Defining this behavior as "crazy"
If the neighbor looked through my windowpane
Neighbor would think the person is losing sanity
He'd say she's finally gone insane
Engaging in erratic behavior
All the things I do around this old house
Expressing anger towards the person
Like cussing your name, screaming out loud
Vocalizing frustration
My bedroom wall's got a hole in it now
Damaged property due to anger
If you think that sounds crazy, then you should've seen me
Reiteration of waiting by the phone
Sitting by the phone, all those nights alone
Continued pattern of waiting by the phone
Believing lies you told me, thinking I'm your only
Believing repeated lies
Putting off my friends to be with you again
Prioritizing the person over friends
Forgiving when you say "I love you, baby"
Forgiving despite past actions
That's what I call crazy
Reaffirming the "crazy" label
I've been seeing red since you said goodbye
Experiencing intense anger or emotions since breakup
I might break a thing or two sometimes
Possibly breaking things in emotional moments
If you think that sounds crazy, then you should've seen me
Repeated pattern of waiting by the phone
Sitting by the phone, all those nights alone
Continued waiting for contact
Believing lies you told me, thinking I'm your only
Reiterating belief in falsehoods
Putting off my friends to be with you again
Continued sacrifice of friendship for the person
Forgiving when you say "I love you, baby"
Continued forgiveness despite history
That's what I call crazy
Reaffirming the characterization as "crazy"
That's what I call crazy, yeah
Reiteration of the behavior being "crazy"
That's what I call crazy, oh
Reaffirming the behavior's characterization
That's what I call crazy
Final repetition of the behavior as "crazy"
