Maybe
[inspired by a true situation with a [now ex-]boyfriend]
We both thought this was a once in a lifetime thing,
a God-given angel just for me
It never crossed my mind that there might be a flaw,
that love isn't everything it seems to be at all
Has it ever occurred to you that I might not
want to put up with this just "talk"?
I'm starting to think you're taking me for granted--
you'd better stop, you don't know the doubt you've planted
~bridge~
Don't think that I just want to let go
I love you, boy, but you really need to know...
~chorus~
Maybe you think I'll always be there
Maybe you think I'll unconditionally care
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're wrong
Do you know what it's like to go through
the kind of things that you always do?
Always saying one thing and doing another
I can't take it no more, boy
Keep this up and maybe I'll walk away
Just because we haven't seen each other for ages
doesn't mean you can assume to keep turning the pages
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"--right,
that used to be my state of mind
Now the other end of the line rings true:
"Out of sight, out of mind"--that's you
I don't have to sit around and get my hopes up
when they shatter too often, I think: break up
~bridge~
~chorus~
I'm just telling you this because I care
and I don't want to lose your love
You mean more to me than words could say
but I"m not sure anymore that you feel the same way
So if you really do love me, don't ignore me
You're taking me for granted, can't you see?
~bridge~
~chorus~
Can't take this no more,
maybe I might just walk away
