Ayren Sainté – Maybe (Apple Music Exclusive) Lyrics

Maybe (Apple Music Exclusive) – Ayren Sainté Lyrics

I still reach for you in little ways

In the silence after long days

In the space beside me in the bed

In the words I never said

You were the first place that felt like home

Now home is just a shape I know

And I hate how love can turn that fast

From forever to the past

Sometimes I wish we never met

Not because you meant nothing

But because maybe no memory

Would hurt less than this becoming

We were fire and gasoline

We were mercy and a scene

We were everything we swore

Would never end like this

Maybe it's supposed to hurt

Maybe love don't leave here clean

Maybe two people can mean it all

And still lose everything

Maybe it's supposed to ache

Maybe that's the price of truth

Maybe I didn't just lose my wife

Maybe I lost my best friend too

Now there's someone new who makes me smile

Soft hands kind eyes a gentler life

And I want to lean in I want to try

But fear still lives behind my eyes

I'm afraid to laugh too hard

Afraid to let her know my heart

Afraid if I hand somebody trust

It'll turn to dust it'll turn to us

The one thing we promised we would never do

Was become strangers me and you

Now look at us no call no sound

Two ghosts with our names cut out

From lovers to lost

From mine to what was

How the hell did forever

Get so easy for you

Maybe it's supposed to hurt

Maybe love don't leave here clean

Maybe two people can mean it all

And still lose everything

Maybe it's supposed to ache

Maybe that's the price of truth

Maybe I didn't just lose my wife

Maybe I lost my best friend too

And the only way I know to let it out

Is writing you into these songs

Again and again

Like if I find the right line

Maybe I'll finally leave you there

Maybe you hear them somewhere

Maybe you don't

Maybe I'm still trying to make sense

Of what you already made peace with

How is it so easy for you

To carry on like we were light

I wish I could do it too

I wish I could close the door at night

And not hear your name

In every little thing that's good

I wish I could love someone new

The way a healed man should

Maybe it's supposed to hurt

Maybe healing starts right here

Maybe the wound stays open long enough

To teach me how to feel

Maybe it's supposed to break

Everything I thought I knew

Maybe losing you was losing me

Till I find my way back through

Maybe it's supposed to hurt

Maybe that's what makes it real

Maybe I'll keep singing till the day

These scars stop sounding like your name

I wish we never met

So maybe we could've spared each other this

But then I think of who I was

Before your love before your kiss

And maybe that's the cruelest part

I'd lose the pain but lose the light

So I keep writing

Night after night
