Maybe Mine Lyrics

I've been chasing you around
When I go up, you're down
I'm tired of fooling around
Hope you're life is better now

You want to run from...
I can't give up on...
all of my dreams
Hope they don't leave me too
How long will it take?

I already said, "I do"
I liked myself with you
but you think it's worthless for whatever reasons

All of my friends
Hope they don't leave me too
How long will it take
for you

I have been here
and you've done what you want
Call if you want to
hide when you don't
I don't care

All of your dreams
Hope they don't leave you too
And when no one else sees
I see only you
How long will it take?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is perfect. Most definitely my favourite song from their album.

I think the meaning is pretty clear, It's talking about finally giving up chasing after someone you've been on and off with. Of course they're still hopeful that something sometime will eventually come of it all "All of your dreams Hope they don't leave you too And when no one else sees I see only you How long will it take? " but they're no longer going to force the issue, they are just too tired of being played, and being fed mixed messages.

Absolutely stella.
