maybe




it's just me
i can't seem to get away but i can't stay
like a bad dream but i'm still awake
there's something
that's got a real good hold on me
maybe it's just a curse i need to break
maybe


days repeat
lost track of time when it unwinds before my eyes
but i can't give up even after a thousand tries
i'm waiting
for something anything to save me
maybe i just have to wait one more time
maybe


everything is temporary
the weaker i am the stronger i'll get
maybe it's just me but i can't forget i can
maybe it's just me
maybe
maybe

i'm wishing
there's a way out in the middle of it all
it's no one's fault cause i refuse to fall
silver screens
paint pretty pretty pictures of how it could be
maybe we should take it with a grain of salt
maybe

next scene is ripping at the seams
hearts beat heavily 
just breathe deeply steadily
then maybe we could see what they preach 
or maybe, maybe...

everything is temporary
the weaker i am the stronger i'll get
maybe it's just me but i can't forget i can
maybe it's just me
maybe, maybe, maybe...

everything is temporary

maybe it's just me

maybe

maybe

believe in you


i heard what they said
but i chose not to respond
don't expect me to listen
when they always tell me i'm wrong

how can i stand up for you
when you push me away?
how can you call me a friend
when i'm the only one who stays? 

i'm reaching out to you
but you don't see me
cause the ground you're standing on 
is sinking...

truth falls on deaf ears when it speaks to you
turn your head to a new direction
don't chase someone else's perfection

you have to believe in you like i do
you have to believe in you

i know it's hard to ignore 
cause i've been there before
 let the tears you've cried
lift the weight from your eyes
and look up
cause you're loved
yeah you're loved...

i'm reaching out to you
but you don't see me
cause the ground you're standing on 
is sinking...

truth falls on deaf ears when it speaks to you
turn your head to a new direction
don't chase someone else's perfection

you have to believe in you like i do
you have to believe in you...

don't listen to what they said
choose not to respond
don't listen
when they always tell you you're wrong

you have to believe in you
believe in you
believe in you...
i believe in you
