Analysis of Maybe
Maybe you still feel the same
Maybe I still do to
Maybe you haven't changed
Maybe I could never change you
Maybe we still have a chance
Maybe I just wish we did
Maybe we're perfect for one another
Maybe I shouldn't kid
Maybes will drive you crazy
they'll create false hope and false doubt
Maybes will ruin you
well before the truth will run you down
so I'll pick up the phone
dial your number
throw maybe out the window
and give us a chance at forever
