Not Your Maybe

V5.5

[Verse 1] You rolled your eyes, I laughed it off Said I was “too much,” I bit my tongue Left my shoes by your front door Like I was lucky to be the one You called it “joking,” I called it home That’s how you got me, line by line I kept the peace with a shaky smile While you kept crossing every line [Pre-Chorus] Now I replay that scene Like a cracked old screen I should’ve seen it then I should’ve gone [Chorus] Questioning why I didn’t leave The first time you were mean to me I gave you grace, you gave me a scar Right there in the middle of my heart Questioning why I didn’t leave (The first time you were mean to me) I stayed too long, I see it now I’m not your maybe, not your somehow [Verse 2] You kept score when I forgot Every favor, every fight Made me feel small in my own skin Then blamed me when I cried at night I learned your moods like weather shifts How to smile before the storm But I was done before I knew What I was keeping love for [Pre-Chorus] Now I replay that scene Like a cracked old screen I should’ve seen it then I should’ve gone [Chorus] Questioning why I didn’t leave The first time you were mean to me I gave you grace, you gave me a scar Right there in the middle of my heart Questioning why I didn’t leave (The first time you were mean to me) I stayed too long, I see it now I’m not your maybe, not your somehow [Bridge] I don’t hate you I just see it clear Love shouldn’t feel Like holding back tears So keep your little version Of what we were I’m done explaining What you did first [Final Chorus] Questioning why I didn’t leave The first time you were mean to me I gave you grace, you gave me a scar Right there in the middle of my heart Questioning why I didn’t leave (The first time you were mean to me) I stayed too long, I see it now I’m not your maybe, not your somehow [Outro] I should’ve gone I know that now I’m not your maybe Not your somehow
