Fighting for a Maybe

You pull me close beneath the traffic lights Then disappear behind your

eyes

You kiss me like you've made up your mind Then leave me

guessing through the night

You tell your friends I'm good for you Your sister knows my

name

You hold my hand like something true Then call it just a

moment anyway

I can live with almost anything Except not knowing where I stand

You say your body says forever But your heart won't take my

hand

How do I fight for a maybe?

How do I bleed for a door half-closed?

You make me feel like I'm your only Then tell me you

don't know Your head says I'm the one you need

Your skin keeps pulling me in But if your heart is somewhere

else I'm losing before I begin

You wake me up to tell me you miss me

Like missing me is all we need

You speak about us like a future

Then cut the sentence at the seam

I keep collecting little moments To prove that this is real

But every time we talk beyond tonight You tell me what you

cannot feel

And I don't need a perfect answer

I just need one I can survive I can't keep building us

a home On every word you leave behind

How do I fight

for a maybe? How do I bleed for a door half-closed?

You make me feel like I'm your only Then tell me you

don't know Your head says I'm the one you need

Your skin keeps pulling me in But if your heart is somewhere

else I'm losing before I begin

Maybe I'm asking for tomorrow

When you're still living in tonight

Maybe you love the way I hold you

Not the life that comes with mine

And I could stay until you feel it

I could wait until I'm gone

But I can't fight for something breathing That was never moving on

How do I fight for a maybe?

How do I call this almost home?

You kiss me like you can't live without me

Then leave me here alone Your head says I'm the one you

need

Your body says it too

But if your heart won't turn toward me What am I supposed

to do?

I'm dying slowly in the silence

Between your yes and no I can't keep fighting for a maybe

When maybe means let go
