Maybe one day

I feel like I talk too much,

Then sometimes I don’t talk enough,

I’m caught somewhere between the words

And everything I’m scared to say first.

Maybe someday I’ll understand

Why nobody seems to want these hands,

Why the talkative type gets left behind,

While I’m just trying to be understood sometimes.

And if I fall down,

I’ll get back up somehow,

Just to hit the ground again,

But I’ll keep trying till the end.

I’m so strong, but I deny it,

Over and over, I keep hiding it.

I tell myself that I’m not enough,

Even when I know I’ve been through enough.

If five years pass and I’m still out of sight,

Don’t worry too much, I’ll be alright.

’Cause maybe one day I’ll see you,

Maybe one day I’ll be brave just like you.

I wonder if the silence wins

When I don’t know where to begin.

I’ve got a thousand things to say,

But somehow they all fade away.

I keep pretending I’m okay,

Keep pushing all my fears away,

And every time I lose my ground,

I find another way to turn around.

And if I fall down,

I’ll get back up somehow,

Even if my hands still shake,

Even if it takes me days to change.

I’m so strong, but I deny it,

Over and over, I keep hiding it.

I tell myself that I’m not enough,

Even when I know I’ve been through enough.

If five years pass and I’m still out of sight,

Don’t worry too much, I’ll be alright.

’Cause maybe one day I’ll see you,

Maybe one day I’ll be brave just like you.

Maybe I’ll learn to love my voice,

Maybe I’ll stop questioning every choice.

Maybe being different isn’t wrong,

Maybe I’ve been stronger all along.

And if you can see me from where you are,

Know I’m still reaching for the stars.

I may be scared, I may be blue,

But someday I’ll be brave just like you.

I’m so strong, and I’ll believe it,

Even when my heart can’t quite receive it.

I’ll stop telling myself I’m not enough,

’Cause I’ve survived when life got tough.

And if five years pass and I’m still out of sight,

Don’t worry too much, I’ll find my light.

Maybe one day I’ll see you,

Maybe one day I’ll finally break through.

Maybe one day I’ll find the truth—

Maybe one day I’ll be brave just like you.
