Maybe by Sick Puppies

"Being different is cool." "You don't care what anyone thinks, do you?" "You're so brave!" "Why do you do that?" "You love confusing people." "You need to explain yourself!"

Maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe I'm misunderstood
Maybe you're not seeing the side of me you should
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I'm the only one
Maybe I'm just out of touch
Maybe I've just had enough

It feels like everyday someone is complimenting my uniqueness or criticizing it. It's viewed as a quality I've developed and a quality I can lose. But it's not. It's a part of who I am. And why don't people realize that mentioning it hurts? I don't want to be that different. I don't want to be misunderstood. It tears at my heart every time.

Maybe it's time to change
And leave it all behind
I've never been one to walk alone
I've always been scared to try
So why does it feel so wrong
To reach for something more
To wanna live a better life
What am I waiting for?
'Cause nothing stays the same
Maybe it's time to change

Maybe it's hopeless
Maybe I should just give up
What if I can't trust myself?
What if I just need some help?

Maybe it's time to change
And leave it all behind
I've never been one to walk alone
I've always been scared to try
So why does it feel so wrong
To reach for something more
To wanna live a better life
What am I waiting for?
'Cause nothing stays the same
Maybe it's time to change

And maybe it's time to change
And leave it all behind
I've never been one to walk alone
I've always been scared to try

And maybe it's time to change

How do I change? How do I make it so people understand me?

I could go and leave everything behind. I'm fine alone. But I don't want to be alone. I need to try to be more understood. I need to have an easier time being with people. Maybe it's time to change. Even if I'm not sure how to.

P.S. This is not my best edited post. I just needed to say it.
