Maybe

He may not be as tall as you
He may not be as strong
But maybe he can tell the difference
Between what's right and wrong

Maybe he won't buy me purple pens
Or give me the nickname "shithead'
But at least he's not the type of person
Who makes me want to wish I was dead

And maybe I won't love him as much I loved you
Or maybe I'll love him more
Maybe he's the type of guy who, when things get tough
Won't walk out the door

Maybe he'll be there for me when I start to cry
With a tissue box in his hand
Maybe he won't make empty promises like you did
About playing together in the sand

I'll no longer hold this against you
Because eventually I'll be finished and fine
I'll no longer sit here and wish for
Your love, which once had been mine

And now you've found someone who makes you happy
And soon enough I'll find someone as well
Maybe it'll be him, or maybe someone else
But only time can tell

Maybe there'll be days when I'll be wishing he was you
Or maybe you'll be erased from my mind
You're not allowed to follow anymore
I have to leave you behind

I'm learning to live without you
And I've learned to deal with the pain
And maybe he'll be there to smile and tell me
"It's okay, to fall in love again."
