MAYBE IT’S NOT YOU


Verse 1 Your face is fading like the sun at night,
I know I really need to say goodbye–
But for that one week when the sun was high
I was so sure time was on our side.

Bridge 1 So maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not you…

Verse 2 Still…I wait around for evening,
Just wanting one more love scene–
Grass holding on to our shapes and smiles,
Keeping us sheltered if just awhile.

Bridge 2 It’s hard to say goodbye but easy to cry,
So maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not you…

Verse 3 This morning there’s a warm breeze,
Grass is giving up its memories–
Rising like soldiers back from the dead,
They rise to fill what was once our bed.

Bridge 3 They help me to see past your memory,
I finally know it’s true…I finally know it’s not you.

Verse 4 Love can be a bit like lightning,
Here, then in a flash it’s dying–
Sacred or not when the light is gone,
Hope is the bridge that helps keep me strong.

Bridge 4 I finally know it’s true, I finally know it’s not you.
