Maybe I Can

[Intro]

I don't know why I get so nervous

Every time you walk my way

I've got a hundred things to tell you

Then forget them all when you say my name

[Verse 1]

I've liked you for a while now

But I've never said a word

I keep thinking I'm not good enough

And honestly, it kind of hurts

You laugh with everybody

And I wonder if you'd laugh with me

I keep making up excuses

For why you shouldn't notice me

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I'm overthinking

Maybe I'm scared to find out

Maybe if I just stopped running

I'd know what this is about

[Chorus]

I don't know if I can do this

I don't know if I'm enough

Every time I get close to you

I start thinking way too much

But maybe I should try it

Maybe I should take the chance

I've spent so long telling myself no

Maybe I can

[Verse 2]

Yesterday you sat beside me

And we talked until the bell

I kept thinking, "Don't mess this up"

But somehow I did pretty well

You asked me what I was doing

And I told you what was on my mind

For once I didn't plan my answers

I just let myself be myself

And maybe that's the whole thing

Maybe I don't need to change

Maybe you don't need somebody perfect

Maybe you just like me this way

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm still overthinking

Yeah, I probably always will

But I'm tired of standing still

Waiting for some kind of sign

[Chorus]

I don't know if I can do this

But I'm starting to believe

Maybe all the things I hate about myself

Aren't what you see in me

And maybe I should try it

Maybe I should take the chance

I've spent so long telling myself no

Maybe I can

[Bridge]

So if I get nervous, I'll get nervous

If I stumble, that's alright

I don't have to have the answers

I just have to show up tonight

For once I'm not gonna run

For once I'm gonna let it happen

Maybe she won't feel the same

But at least I'll know I had the courage to ask

[Final Chorus]

I think I can do this

I think I'm finally enough

I don't have to be somebody else

Just to make somebody love me

And maybe this is crazy

Maybe this won't go as planned

But I've spent so long telling myself no

Now I'm ready to say I can
