Maybe

Maybe I can take these moments and make them longer.
Maybe I can take these walls and make them stronger
Maybe I can take this load and make it lighter.
Maybe I can take this day and make it brighter.

I spend these nights missing my friend,
And with each waking day, I miss them again.
But this is my cup, I won’t give it up.
I did what I could, but it wasn’t enough.

Hiding in bed, beneath the covers,
Trapped by the weight of the words of others.
These sheets are tangled ’round my feet,
I try to move, but can’t break free.

I’ve made mistakes without even knowing.
I’ve felt the storm winds blowing.
I’ve watched the floodwaters growing.
But I didn’t know you were going.

Maybe I can take this sound and make it louder.
Maybe I can take this flame and put it out now.
Maybe I can take these bad days and throw them away.
Maybe I can take these memories and keep them safe.

Maybe I can take these moments and make them longer.
Maybe I can take these walls and make them stronger.
Maybe I can take this load and make it lighter.
Maybe I can take this day and make it brighter.

Maybe I can take this sound and make it louder.
Maybe I can take this flame and put it out now.
Maybe I can take these bad days and throw them away.
Maybe I can take these memories and keep them safe.

I spend these nights missing my friend,
And with each waking day, I miss them again.
But this is my cup, I won’t give it up.
I did what I could, but it wasn’t enough.
