Maybe This Time

Yeah

Uh

I know you feel it

Yeah, yeah

I been on my own, I had to figure it out

Had a couple people switch when the money came around

Now she hit my phone, asking where I been

I told her, “Working on myself, I ain’t been out again”

I got too much on my mind, I can’t sleep at night

But I still get up and make sure that the dream stay alive

They don’t see the nights when I question myself

They just see me getting better, think I did it with help

I remember being broke, wishing I could change my life

Now I’m looking at the numbers like, “Damn, we doing alright”

Still got scars from the people that I trusted before

So if I love you, understand what that shit means anymore

I don’t wanna lose myself trying to make you stay

I don’t wanna say forever if forever’s gonna change

You can tell me that you love me, but I need you to be real

‘Cause I’ve heard it all before and I know how that shit feels

So don’t tell me that you love me if you don’t mean it

Don’t hold me close if you’re already leaving

I’ve been running from the past, but it keeps creeping

Every time I let somebody in, they leave me bleeding

But tonight, I don’t wanna think about tomorrow

Put your hands on me, forget about the sorrow

We could disappear, nobody gotta know

You and me together, we could take it real slow

She said, “Why you always acting like you gotta leave?”

I said, “Maybe I’m just scared of what you might mean to me”

‘Cause every time I get attached, I lose a part of who I am

And I don’t wanna build a future just to watch it hit the sand

I been chasing every dream that I said I’d never get

Still got things I gotta prove, I ain’t finished with it yet

If I told you that I need you, would you use it against me?

If I gave you everything, would you still protect me?

I don’t need another person telling me who I should be

I just need somebody standing right beside me

When the lights go down and everybody disappears

When the confidence is gone and I’m alone with all my fears

Maybe I’m too complicated

Maybe love got overrated

Maybe I just need somebody

Who ain’t scared of what I’m facing

And if that’s you

Then don’t run

‘Cause I don’t wanna keep searching

For the same thing I already found

So don’t tell me that you love me if you don’t mean it

Don’t hold me close if you’re already leaving

I’ve been running from the past, but it keeps creeping

Every time I let somebody in, they leave me bleeding

But tonight, I don’t wanna think about tomorrow

Put your hands on me, forget about the sorrow

We could disappear, nobody gotta know

You and me together, we could take it real slow

Yeah

Maybe this time it’s different

Maybe this time I don’t have to run

Yeah

Maybe you’re the one
