Maybe we could start over,* you say
Maybe we could try again, you say
Let’s see what that may entail
Let’s see if we’re bound to fail
Let’s pretend that all’s been well,
And now you know to handle Hell
Let’s pretend it’s been the same for me,
And life has taught me lessons free
So in this case we’re all grown up
And we won’t make the same **** up
Maybe this time you’ll take me seriously
Maybe this time I’ll keep my wits with me
We’ll be reasonable and fair
And we’ll give each other air
We’ll compromise and organize
So none of us feels objectified
Maybe we could start over, I say
Maybe we could try again, I say
But what if we haven’t let go?
And all we want is what we know?
What if the only reason I want this
Is because I’m fond of your kiss?
What if you don’t really miss me?
What if you’re only lonely?
Maybe there aren’t any feelings left,
Just memories from before I left
And we get into this, a second round
Then destroy it again, way more profound
What if I really love you, and you made a mistake,
And now fear and pain are what keep me away?
What if the guilt of that day in some twisted way,
Is what’s making me say I want to try again?
