Maybe I'm Wrong
Ruthie Henshall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I'm foolish
Am I the one who should carry the blame?
Isn't it clear?
Isn't it simple?
Isn't it always the same?
I should have listened
Am I the first who has misunderstood?
It's easy to love
It's harder to tell him
It's easy to leave
So maybe I should
Where's the harm in a conversation?
What's the price of a second chance?
Friends forever or separation?
Broken hearts or romance?
Do we belong?
Maybe I'm wrong
Am I too proud?
Am I too stubborn?
Am I too scared?
Am I feeling betrayed?
So much in love
So where is the problem?
We've only to talk
So why be afraid?
Where's the harm in a conversation?
What's the price of a second chance?
Friends forever or separation?
Broken hearts or romance?
Do we belong?
Maybe I'm wrong
So much in love
So where is the problem?
We've only to talk
So why be afraid?
Where's the harm in a conversation?
What's the price of a second chance?
Friends forever or separation?
Broken hearts or romance?
Do we belong?
Maybe I'm wrong
Ruthie Henshall's song, "Maybe I'm Wrong," delves into the complexities of a relationship where one party is unsure of how to proceed. The first verse kicks off with self-doubt, with the person questioning whether they are foolish to carry the blame. They feel like it's clear and simple, yet it always ends up the same. They are pondering over whether they misunderstood something and should have listened better. Perhaps they are the first one to have done so, or perhaps not.
The chorus repeats the phrase "maybe I'm wrong," touching on the idea that the person's internal conflict stems from second-guessing themselves, and whether or not they should leave their partner. They know it's easy to love and hard to tell them how they feel, but leaving is also easy. The second verse questions the person's own shortcomings, wondering if they are too proud, stubborn, scared, or feeling betrayed. The bridge suggests that a conversation could be the solution, and the person poses the questions, "Where's the harm in a conversation? What's the price of a second chance? Friends forever or separation? Broken hearts or romance?" Ultimately, they question whether they and their partner belong together, highlighting their uncertainty about the future.
