Maybe

So it was the wrong place at the wrong time
I only couldn't see everything was against it
They told me I was too young and out of my mind
Who were they to tell me I couldn't stand on my own feet
I knew they were right but I just wouldn't admit
That one day I would be where I am

Maybe if you were different and I were different
Maybe if I were willing to let go of conventions
Maybe if you stuck to me no matter how it went
Maybe if we could understand you didn't mean all you said and shown
Maybe then we would be different
As far as different could go

So I ran past all the advice and right into the fire
Now I've been burnt right through with nothing more to lost
They always say 'once bitten, twice shy'
Now that my heart's been cut raw and I've to chose
To keep my pride intact or go crawling back
That's another stab through the heart, it'll break me apart

But we are who we are and that would never change
I'll stick to conventions like I thought you would to me
Commitment was something you couldn't make yourself have
I took your word and I believed in everything yous aid to me
We're where we are now for better or for worse
As far as worse can go
