I'm strong
But I break
I'm stubborn
And I make plenty of mistakes
Yeah I'm hard
And life with me is never easy
To figure out, to love
I'm jaded but oh so lovely
All you have to do is hold me
And you'll know and you'll see just how sweet it can be
If you'll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe
Someday
When we're at the same place
When we're on the same road
When it's OK to hold my hand
Without feeling lost
Without all the excuses
When it's just because you love me, you let me, you need me
Then maybe, maybe
All you have to do is hold me
And you'll know and you'll see just how sweet it can be
If you'll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe
I'm confusing as hell
I'm north and south
And I'll probably never have it all figured out
But what I know is I wasn't meant to walk this world without you
And I promise I'll try
Yeah I'm gonna try to give you every little part of me
Every single detail you missed with your eyes
Then maybe
Maybe, yeah maybe
Yeah maybe
Maybe, yeah maybe, maybe
One day
We'll meet again and you'll need me, you'll see me completely
Every little bit
Oh yeah maybe you'll love me, you'll love me then
I don't want to be tough
And I don't want to be proud
I don't need to be fixed and I certainly don't need to be found
I'm not lost
I need to be loved
I just need to be loved
I just want to be loved by you and I won't stop 'cause I believe
That maybe, yeah maybe
Maybe, yeah maybe
Maybe, maybe
I should know better than to touch the fire twice
But I'm thinking maybe, yeah maybe you might
Maybe, love maybe
But I break
I'm stubborn
And I make plenty of mistakes
Yeah I'm hard
And life with me is never easy
To figure out, to love
I'm jaded but oh so lovely
All you have to do is hold me
And you'll know and you'll see just how sweet it can be
If you'll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe
Someday
When we're at the same place
When we're on the same road
When it's OK to hold my hand
Without feeling lost
Without all the excuses
When it's just because you love me, you let me, you need me
Then maybe, maybe
All you have to do is hold me
And you'll know and you'll see just how sweet it can be
If you'll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe
I'm confusing as hell
I'm north and south
And I'll probably never have it all figured out
But what I know is I wasn't meant to walk this world without you
And I promise I'll try
Yeah I'm gonna try to give you every little part of me
Every single detail you missed with your eyes

I just need to be loved

I should know better not to touch the fire twice
but I'm thinking maybe, yeah, maybe you might...
maybe.
Love, maybe.
I can so relate to this song, except that to me its not a break up (even though it might have been written about kelly's break up), to me its about being in love with someone and they love you, but too many things get in the way and it's like, well maybe one day you'll love me and we'll be together.
This part is my favourite:
"Someday when we're at the same place,
when we're on the same road,
when it's okay to hold my hand without feeling lost.
Without all the excuses,
when it's just because
You love me, you let me, you need me, then maybe, maybe"
I think it's about how she is hard to be with, and it's hard for her to have a relationship, but she wants one badly. She's naming the things that make it hard, then
"All you have to do is hold me
And you know, and you'll see just how
Sweet it can be if you trust me, love me, let me
Maybe...maybe..."
So she's saying MAYBE they can be together and she is hoping it could work out. I'm not sure how to explain it lol, but yeah.

I think it's about loving someone that doesn't love you back the same way... Or maybe he/she does, but isn't ready for commitment.
She's insecure and feels that it isn't easy to understand her, but hopes that the other person will try for her.
I could go on and talk about this song forever... But it's pretty clear.
I'm so glad she did this record.
At least, that's my take on it because I know that scenario best.
"I'm strong, but I break
I'm stubborn, and I make plenty of mistakes
Yeah I'm hard, and life with me is never easy
To figure out, to love, I'm jaded
But oh-so-lovely"
To me, that says I am dependable and you can lean on my any time you want, but I DO break and sometimes need the same dependability in return. I'm also stubborn, and like everyone, I make mistakes. And I'm difficult to live with and it's never easy to figure me out, or to love me. I might be jaded, but I'm also lovely.
"All you have to do is hold me
And you know, and you'll see just how
Sweet it can be if you trust me, love me, let me
Maybe...maybe..."
The chorus says that if you would give me a chance, I could show you all the wonders of love. Maybe if you could get past whatever fears you have, and you trust me, and let me show you, we could be in sweet love.
"Someday, when we're at the same place
When we're on the same road
When it's okay to hold my hand
Without feeling lost, without all of the excuses
When it's just because
You love me, you let me, you need me
Then maybe, maybe..."
Here, being non-heterosexual comes into play for me. It screams to me that I am more comfortable with not being straight than the man I'm in love with, and that someday he'll be at the same mental place as I am. And when that happens, he'll be able to hold my hand without making excuses as to why he can't, and how he feels like he doesn't understand things completely; and he'll be able to do this because he loves me, and he finally lets me in because he actually needs me.
"I'm confusing as hell; I'm north and south
And I'll probably never have it all figured out
But what I know is I wasn't meant to walk this world
Without you.
And I promise I'll try, yeah I'm gonna try
To give you every little part of me
Every single detail you missed with your eyes
And maybe, maybe, yeah maybe..."
Here, I feel like it's relating to me even more, since, because I'm bisexual, I sometimes act more masculine and dominating, wanting space and am averse to closeness, whereas I have my feminine moments where I want the opposite; not to mention, I have my urges to want women. And I'll never completely learn to deject that urge, but I inevitably know that I can't be without him, and knowing this makes me want to give him every single part of me, beyond the physicality of our relationship.
"One day, we'll meet again and you'll need me
You'll see me completely; every little bit.
Oh yeah maybe, maybe you'll love me then?
I don't wanna be tough, and I don't wanna be proud
I don't need to be fixed and I certainly
Don't need to be found; I'm not lost
I need to be loved.
I just need to be loved. I just wanna be loved by you.
And I won't stop, cuz I believe in maybe."
This says that later on in life, he'll come back and he'll desperately need me and finally see me for the first REAL time--flaws and perfections all. But currently, I don't want to be 'tough,' and I don't want to think he's 'stupid' for not seeing how 'great' I am. I'm not broken, as most people say after being heartbroken, and I definitely don't need to be found because I'm not lost. Mainly, I'm just lacking love. Not friendly love, but love from him. And though people tell me to stop loving him, I won't because I believe that maybe...maybe he'll love me then.
"I should know better than to touch the fire twice
But I'm thinking maybe, yeah, maybe you might
Maybe
Love
Maybe..."
Here, at the end of the song, I know I shouldn't try getting involved with him again, even if he says he needs me. But...my optimism and penchant for the conditional drags me in and I believe that maybe, maybe he might love me...maybe.
But still, she hopes that one day they can work things out and be together.... because she knows in her heart she's supposed to be with him.
... such a great song
It is slightly easy to see what it's about. It's a song that a lot of complex and emotional people can probably relate to. It's obviously about a break-up, and she's saying maybe we'll meet again when the time is more appropriate. This is evident in the line when she says: "One day, when we're at the same place, and we're on the same road, when it's OK to hold my hand."
The song also reveals how confused and erratic she really is.
