Maybe

Maybe

Maybe

I need to take a breathe

Just a moment to decompress

Maybe

I just need to to hold on and try to forget the things that drive me crazy

Maybe

We just need to forget who’s right and left

Maybe

The world is one big mess

Things would be better if I could just sit and forget

If I could just sit and remember the things that make me happy

Maybe

Even with these flashbacks

And this phantom pain my my body is trying to to remind me

That I’m a little bit closer to crazy

Maybe

I somehow self sabotage myself because I feel I don’t deserve to be happy

The gym is the only place I feel a little less crazy

Maybe

At the when I see that smile feel that hug

Lift that weight every little thing part of me seems to be at peace finally

But maybe this is all in my head my hearts too big for my head and that scares women away and further closer drives myself crazy

Yet maybe
