Maybe I'm Wrong
Ruthie Henshall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I'm wrong
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?
Maybe I'm wrong
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
