Maybe Then

(album: Remains - 2019)

If you step into my shoes
Maybe then, maybe then, oh, then you'll know
If you see it through my eyes
Maybe then, maybe then, you'll, then you'll go
Oh, baby, then you'll know

Yeah, I know what I came for, I know what I came for
You don't got to go to Stanford just to find out what you stand for
I don't like to talk 'cause the numbers like to talk more
Scared one day I'll look back and realize I had a lot more
I've been doing me, I've been doing fine
Picking up myself, so I gotta hit decline, uh
I don't take apologies, I get 'em all the time
If you don't see the vision, well, then look into my eyes, yeah
Work for twenty-four hours, that's the way I does it
Sleep kills dreams, yeah, that's the repercussion
I wonder who is real, I wonder who is fake
Do you love me 'cause you love me? Is it only for the pain?
When you ask me how I feel, why you holding out a plate?
People say I'm saving lives, when did I put on the cape?
Just because he's Superman doesn't mean that he's okay
You can't see it through my eyes, so what can I really say?

If you step into my shoes
Maybe then, maybe then, oh, then you'll know
If you see it through my eyes
Maybe then, maybe then, you'll, then you'll go
Oh, baby, then you'll know

I'm scared
You don't feel me like I think you do
Every ghost from my past got me scared to see this through
Wonder what you telling people when you picture me and you
Put my heart inside that necklace, wonder what it means to you
Always thinking, why am I feeling like I'm not enough?
Am I scared to be myself? Am I giving way too much?
Is it just the loneliness? The advocates have given up
Is it just the Devil always saying "Why you looking up?"
I guess I'm just used to painting things that I regret
Told my heart to loan you trust but I forgot that I'm in debt
I'm sorry if it seemed like I'm depressed
Truth is, I don't know what's life without it
Sorry, I'm a mess
When I heard your voice for the first time, I heard angels sing for the first time
I found the feeling I was looking for looking in your eyes
I'm just worried that you saw nothing looking into mine, like

If you step into my shoes
Maybe then, maybe then, oh, then you'll know
If you see it through my eyes
Maybe then, maybe then, you'll, then you'll go
Oh, baby, then you'll know

I don't know what's wrong with me
Lately, getting up has been taking all of me
Seeing all this money, wonder what it's costing me
All these fans telling me they fell in love with me
I just wanna know why; I don't feel the same way
When I get up in the morning and I see the same face
And it feels like I've been drowning in the middle of the day
Before these feelings fade, let me put this on a page, like

If you step into my shoes
Maybe then, maybe then, oh, then you'll know
If you see it through my eyes
Maybe then, maybe then, you'll, then you'll go
Oh, baby, then you'll know
