Years Of Maybe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I packed my pain in a borrowed room Your mom’s old couch and a half-made wound You talked “someday” like it paid the rent But I was still here with the love I spent I watched you choose that house over us Kept swallowing truth just to keep the dust You needed a woman, but I was a bridge To the life you swore you’d give [Pre-Chorus] And I kept saying, maybe, maybe While my heart got tired You kept calling it “timing” When it was fear on fire [Chorus] Years of maybe, years of maybe You kept me waiting Years of maybe, years of maybe I was the one breaking You sold me a future Then let it fade Years of maybe, years of maybe I’m walking away (walking away) [Verse 2] It went from tears to slammed-up doors To blame laid out on the kitchen floor You’d twist my words till I blamed myself Then pull me back like I needed help I got so angry, I got so loud ‘Cause love don’t live where it’s strangled down I saw the pattern, I saw the drain I was bleeding out in the name of change [Pre-Chorus] And I kept saying, maybe, maybe While my hope ran dry You kept calling me “hard” When I was just saying goodbye [Chorus] Years of maybe, years of maybe You kept me waiting Years of maybe, years of maybe I was the one breaking You sold me a future Then let it fade Years of maybe, years of maybe I’m walking away (walking away) [Bridge] I don’t hate the boy you were I hate the cage I learned I can love your wounds And still not stay to burn Your mama’s grip, your fear, your shame That’s not my life to carry I gave you all my open hands You gave me “later” married [Final Chorus] Years of maybe, years of maybe I’m done with waiting Years of maybe, years of maybe I’m done with saving You sold me a future Then let it fade Years of maybe, years of maybe I’m walking away (walking away) Years of maybe, years of maybe I’m not coming back Years of maybe, years of maybe I’m done with that You had your chance, you let it slip Now watch me live my way Years of maybe, years of maybe I’m walking away (walking away)
