Maybe Its you

Chorus (bouncy, chant-ready)

Maybe it’s you, not me,
I tried my best, you couldn’t see.
I gave my all, didn’t hold back,
You never really gave it back.

Now I choose me, first,
Staying with you only made it worse.

(Repeat twice — second time with ad-libs)

Verse 1 (tight pockets, conversational flow)

Late nights, barely talking,
You say you’re fine, but you’re distant.
I check on you, short replies,
Sometimes hours, sometimes silence.

I keep trying, you pull away,
I’m here every time, you hesitate.
Most days I reach out first,
You show up when it works for you.

I’m open, I don’t hide,
You keep things locked inside.
I’m not forcing you to stay,
If you wanna move, I step aside.

Chorus

Maybe it’s you, not me,
I tried my best, you couldn’t see.
I gave my all, didn’t hold back,
You never really gave it back.

Now I choose me, first,
Staying with you only made it worse.

Verse 2 (slightly melodic, half-rap)

I’m not mad, I’m just tired,
Talking but I’m not heard.
When it gets real, you go quiet,
Then come back like nothing occurred.

I said how I feel, straight,
You laugh it off, change the subject.
I wasn’t asking for too much,
Just effort, just showing up.

You said you’re here with me,
But it never felt complete.
Now I slow it down for myself,
Trying to heal, trying to breathe.
Chorus

Maybe it’s you, not me,
I tried my best, you couldn’t see.
I gave my all, didn’t hold back,
You never really gave it back.

Now I choose me, first,
Staying with you only made it worse.
