Analysis of Maybe
Maybe we weren't perfect,
Maybe i was too insecure;
Maybe you were too mysterious,
Maybe all these fights;
Were just meant for us;
For us to see the truth,
For me to let you go,
Maybe it was all there
Just to make me appreciate the fact
That we were never meant to be together.
But even after all these years
I can still feel you all over me
I still picture us together
I still hold on to you, to us
That maybe, just maybe
We were meant to part ways
Just to find each other again
But if I'm being honest
We were meant to part ways
To find me again
And i did.
But i just wanna tell you
That i'm still
very much in love with you
For it wasn't me who left
It was you
Maybe we'll be together
In another life
Maybe i'll wait for you
