From the album Your Favorite Dress
Lyrics by: Dave Mountain
Music by: Dave Mountain
Maybe you heard she was beautiful;
You surprised me with your reaction.
I didn't expect the venom in your humor
to be your latest attraction.
Now I noticed the little things
Remembering birthdays, you forget mine
Since when have you gone for the grand diva act
or was it my eyes, making me so blind?
So blind...
Maybe we weren't meant to be happy
Maybe I'm fine just the way I am
Maybe I can only work when life is cold.
Maybe everything's a stage
Mistakes get made and my life goes on
Maybe is what you learn to say when I feel old.
Maybe I love you; if I do, it's forever
'Til death do us part, without pen or paper
You hurt me worse than all the rest
But I'll treasure the scar and I'll pick at it later.
Maybe I love you; No, I won't take it back
As much as I'd like to cancel your license
The penalty for my past indiscretion
Is the scarlet letter and fair sentence.
Fair sentence...
Maybe we weren't meant to be happy
Maybe I'm fine just the way I am
Maybe I can only work when my life is cold.
Maybe everything's a stage
Mistakes get made, and my life goes on
Maybe is what you learn to say when I got old.
