Maybe - Lily Kershaw

Why is love this complicated We should've been friends, we should've waited But we can't go back on our past, explain to me why we can't last Is it too many scars to heal from I remember the time in our life, I had your heart you had mine Now we don't speak no more, we don't speak no more We spent too much time Focused on all the wrong things, yeah Now you out doing all of the wrong things, yeah Maybe it was better when we were just best friends I think it'd be better if we were just best friends Maybe it was better when we were just best friends I think it'd be better if we were just best friends Got all these mixed emotions One minute you hate me the next we be rolling Feels like the love dying slowly I'm second guessing on all of my choices Maybe we took it too far Maybe this ain't meant to be Maybe we were just infatuated with the thought wrapped up in a fantasy, ooo yeah Snap back to reality So high we forgot about gravity Now I'm sitting here tryna find a remedy at the same time tryna keep my sanity No my/ name ain't/ carrey/ but this love is taking my energy Say you do but ion think you really feeling me, boy this love we got going is killin me Maybe it was better when we were just best friends I think it'd be better if we were just best friends Maybe it was better when we were just best friends I think it'd be better if we were just best friends

Maybe I was wrong, Maybe I was looking in all the wrong places, Maybe I was wrong, Maybe I was searching in all the wrong places, If I knew that you were coming for me, I would have stayed in one place, If I knew that you were coming for me, I would have made my peace Maybe I was wrong, Maybe I was dreamless and full of suffering, Maybe I was wrong, Every time you said you loved me I went running on my own. But I can see you now, Im coming home, I can see you now, Im coming home. Yeah, I was wrong, Maybe I was looking at all the wrong faces, Maybe I was wrong, Maybe I was searching in all the wrong places If I knew that you were coming for me, I would have stayed in one place, If I knew that you were coming for me, I would have made my peace But I can see you now, Im coming home, I can see you now, Im coming home. I have my life in my own hands I journey through the promise land Taking what I can and never looking back But I fell so far so fast And all the years of moving past you in the crowd Are catching up at last And there you are looking at me with eyes full of love Giving me another chance to come home and dance I make my peace now, I throw the pain down Walk towards the light and thank the world Before I say goodnight

Maybe I, maybe you Can make a change to the world We're reaching out for a soul That's kind of lost in the dark Maybe I, maybe you Can find the key to the stars To catch the spirit of hope To save one hopeless heart You look up to the sky With all those questions in mind All you need is to hear The voice of your heart In a world full of pain Someone's calling your name Why don't we make it true? And maybe I, maybe you And maybe I, maybe you And maybe I, maybe you Maybe I, maybe you Are just dreaming sometimes But the world would be cold Without dreamers like you Maybe I, maybe you Are just soldiers of love Born to carry the flame Bringin' light to the dark You look up to the sky With all those questions in mind All you need is to hear The voice of your heart In a world full of pain Someone's calling your name Why don't we make it true? Maybe I, maybe you Maybe I, maybe you Maybe I, maybe you

You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me in a dream Tangled, lost at sea I had tried before Always found myself looking for more But then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me

I tried to be happy i tried to be free I tried to accept you accepting me And i tried to escape the fate awaiting me And take times loose from my neck so i can breathe And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved Well i played up my virtue and hid my vice I'd only show you naughty if you first showed me nice Cause i thought i knew what a woman's work was I kept from view what you wanted most It was fun playing god And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved

We meet at the Broken Spoke Restaurant and Lounge I lit your cigarette then you wrote your number down. On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't read the signs I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time. But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door And there was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the floor You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with holes, scars and scratches, If I find the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. The color is old and faded; the cover's worn and stained I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget And everybody at the broken spoke They all thought my crazy story was a joke Now they're all out in the parking lot Staring at the smoke You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms of walls and holes, scars and scratches Now I found the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes Thank god you left the matches
