Maybe Me

Verse 1

I don’t know how you see me

Through the cracks or through the light

I’ve learned how to stay steady

But I still shake at night

I carry things I don’t explain

Like dents under my skin

You laugh and it feels easy

Then the doubt walks back in

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been fixing all the damage

Trying hard not to show

Every time I get close

There’s a voice that says “no”

Chorus

I like you, but I don’t know

If you like the parts I hide

If you see the broken wiring

Or the way I still try

I don’t need you to save me

I just need you to stay

But I’m scared you’ll see the cracks

And quietly walk away

Verse 2

You talk about tomorrow

Like it’s something that’s yours

I’ve been learning how to stand

After falling before

I don’t bleed like I used to

But the scars still speak

And I wonder if you’d hold me

If you really knew me

Pre-Chorus

I’m not asking for perfect

Or a promise you can’t keep

Just someone who won’t run

When it gets a little deep

Chorus

I like you, but I don’t know

If you like the parts I hide

If you see the broken wiring

Or the way I still try

I don’t need you to save me

I just need you to stay

But I’m scared you’ll see the cracks

And quietly walk away

Bridge

Maybe broken just means honest

Maybe healing isn’t loud

Maybe love is just someone

Who doesn’t turn around

I’m still here, I’m still standing

Even when I’m afraid

I don’t need to be flawless

I just need to be brave

Final Chorus

I like you, and I don’t know

Where your feelings might land

But I’m learning that being real

Is the best that I am

If you choose me, choose all of me

Not the mask, not the play

If you see the cracks and stay

That’s more than okay

Outro

So here I am, no armor

Just truth in what I say

I like you…

And I’m trying anyway.
