about

“Maybe,” a duet with Troy Kemp, paints bittersweet memories of a deep connection. The ballad reflects on how you can’t change the past, but the past can change you - loss can help you recognise and reaffirm your own value.

lyrics

Your burgundy flannel, those burnt out candles
Reminders everywhere, like ghosts from our past
There’s that joke that you told, my dinner goes cold
Two months gone, but it puts me back in nights when we were
Side by side, our fingers intertwined
Your forehead touching mine, couldn’t get any closer if we tried

Maybe you needed more time
Maybe I crossed a line
Maybe we moved too fast
If we’d just slowed down, we would’ve been fine
Maybe we’re meant to last
But you never gave the chance
And maybe, maybe,
I’m worth more than maybe, maybe, yeah
I’m worth more than maybe, maybe, yeah

A strong cappuccino, Post-its we wrote
Reminders everywhere, like ghosts from our past
There’s that song we danced to, that café where I met you
Ten months on, I still can’t escape that night you told me
“It’s just not right,” I pleaded, “stay and fight
Don’t leave, hold me tight.”
And that was the first time I saw you cry

Maybe you needed more time
Maybe I crossed a line
Maybe we moved too fast
If we’d just slowed down, we would’ve been fine
Maybe we’re meant to last
But you never gave the chance
And maybe, maybe,
I’m worth more than maybe, maybe, yeah
I’m worth more than maybe, maybe, yeah

Maybe I’m moving on
While maybe you’ll see what you had
Now it’s gone

Maybe I shouldn’t still care
But maybe I broke through your wall
Maybe you were scared
And it was just too much when you felt it all
Maybe we’re meant to last
But you blew your only chance
‘Cause baby, baby,
I’m worth more than maybe, oh
I’m worth more than maybe, maybe, yeah
Maybe (maybe), maybe (maybe)
Maybe (maybe)
