In the first verse, the narrator acknowledges the initial happiness of their relationship but starts to question whether their love is genuine. They express a struggle to understand the current chapter they find themselves in and feel frustrated by the lack of effort or investment from the other person. The line "If this is what we are, then I gotta move on" suggests a realization that their relationship may not align with their expectations of love.
The chorus reveals the conflict between the narrator's perception of their own actions and the other person's viewpoint. They are aware that leaving the relationship might be seen as irrational or foolish, but they assert that the other person may also be right in thinking that they are crazy. The repetition of "Maybe you're right" highlights the internal struggle between accepting responsibility for their own choices and questioning the validity of those choices.
In the second verse, the tension between the two individuals intensifies as they argue about insignificant matters. The narrator feels emotionally overwhelmed and indirectly blames the other person's mental jokes as a source of their distress. The line "So much for taking this too far" suggests that the narrator feels they have reached a breaking point and that the relationship has gone beyond repair. They also express the belief that they cannot be blamed for being true to themselves and that it is now too late to salvage their love.
The bridge signifies a turning point where the narrator decides to close this chapter of their life and move on. They express a sense of growth and resilience as they embrace the idea of leaving behind the past and focusing on a brighter future. The mention of being on the other person's mind when they experience happiness implies that the narrator's decision to move on will eventually lead to their ex-partner reflecting on their actions and the missed opportunity for a fulfilling relationship.
Overall, "Maybe You're Right" portrays the inner conflict, emotional turmoil, and the eventual realization that moving on is necessary for personal growth and happiness. It encapsulates the complexities of love, the struggles of self-discovery, and the introspection required to recognize when a relationship may no longer be fulfilling.
Maybe You're Right
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The second that you said you loved me
Started questioning us, are we really in love
Trying to figure out chapter three
But you're not giving me anything
If this is what we are, then I gotta move on
You think this is everything
But this is no book of us
You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish
Leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
Here comes the part of you and me
Arguing about nothing
You told me it's as good as it gets
Yeah I'm real emotional
Blame it on your mental jokes
How much did you think that I could take
So much for taking this too far
You can't blame me for who I am
It's too late for us to try to be in love right now
You might think I'm crazy (crazy)
That I'm lost and foolish
Leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
Felt the pages now, this chapter's done
Moving on up and forward onto all that will become
If you ever get to the place where the sun is shining every day
Then I'll be on your mind
You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish
Leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
In “Maybe You’re Right,” Miley Cyrus describes a relationship that's falling apart. In the first verse, she describes how Chapter One started happy implying how things were good and perfect; however, in Chapter Two, she started questioning whether or not they were really in love because the affection disappeared. Cyrus talked about how she couldn't receive anything from her partner, and if that was all they were, then she had to move on. She implies that her partner's presence wasn't enough, and she wanted something more.
In the second verse, Cyrus narrates the arguments and how her partner took her for granted, joking around with her mental health, and not knowing how much she could take. She tells her partner that it's no longer possible to be in love at the moment it is too late. She is also assertive and knowledgeable of what she wants and cannot be blamed for who she is.
In the final verse, Cyrus feels like she's moved on into a new chapter of life, and she's already on to something new. She talks about reaching the end and turning the page, moving forward with all that's to come. If her partner ever gets to the stage in life where everything is perfect and sunny, she implies that she'll be on his mind, implying confidence in herself that she has moved on and found love that's perfect for her.

Chapter one we started happy
Our story began with happiness
The second that you said you loved me
As soon as you said you loved me, I started having doubts about our relationship
Started questioning us, are we really in love
I started wondering if we were actually in love
Trying to figure out chapter three
I'm trying to determine the next stage of our relationship
But you're not giving me anything
You're not giving me any answers or clarity
If this is what we are, then I gotta move on
If we can't figure things out, then I have to end things and move forward
You think this is everything
You believe that what we have is enough
But this is no book of us
Our story isn't set in stone and we have a chance to change it
Here comes the part of you and me

Arguing about nothing
We're arguing for no reason
