Grant Lee Buffalo – Happiness Lyrics 1 year ago
While Grant-Lee Phillips's writing certainly leaves plenty of room for individual interpretation, he's also direct enough that lines such as:

"Nevermind the words that came
Out of my mouth when all that I could feel was pain
The difference in the two of us
Comes down to the way
You rise over things I just put down"

In the context of the rest of the song seem to indicate he might have either lost or thought he was losing a friendship or relationship due to suffering an episode of depression (most likely a friendship as he is still married to the same woman.)
