Maybe

Maybe you'll come around�
Maybe you'll finally see
What you mean to me�
Maybe this touch, maybe this look,
Maybe this sound
Will open your eyes,
Will open your heart,
And maybe you'll see,
Maybe you'll feel,
Feel me here beside you
Despite your flaws,
Despite your failures�
I only love you more
For every mistake you make.
Maybe this song, maybe this place,
Maybe this movie
Will jog your memory,
Will bring it all back,
And maybe you'll remember,
Maybe you'll relive
The life that we once made.
Maybe these words,
These three little words,
Will remind you of
The dreams we used to share.
Maybe "I love you"
Doesn't mean enough,
Maybe it doesn't make sense�
Maybe I need to say it again,
Over and over until you believe
These three little words
Mean the world to me.
Maybe these wishes,
Maybe these dreams,
Maybe these words
Are all broken promises
That refused to be heard.
Maybe I should leave you now,
Before it's too late,
Before you throw your life away
Because of all the guilt.
Maybe I will stay,
Stay because I love you,
I love you, I love you,
Love you and only you�
Maybe you'll believe me,
Maybe you won't.
Maybe I can hope, hope and wait
For the day you'll finally see
You love me and only me�
