Maybe I Can't
Embracing Unresolved Memories
Lyrics
From distance it glitters
From a distance, it appears attractive or appealing.
From up close it glows
Upon closer inspection, it has its own inner beauty or value.
Maybe I can't let go
The speaker expresses difficulty in releasing or moving on from something.
Some memories I plant in the garden

Others scattered never to grow
Other memories are scattered and neglected, never given the chance to flourish.
Maybe I can't let go
The speaker acknowledges a struggle to let go of certain memories.
And what if every story
The possibility that every story or experience is a tale of sorrow is contemplated.
Is just one tale of woe
The speaker reflects on the difficulty of moving on from stories filled with pain.
Maybe I can't let go
Reiteration of the speaker's struggle to let go and move forward.
I traveled by foot
The speaker metaphorically traveled a difficult path on foot.
While you had wings
Contrast with someone else who had an easier journey, represented by having wings.
I traveled by foot
Reiteration of the speaker's challenging journey on foot.
While you had wings
Reiteration of the contrast with someone else who had advantages.
Until God reveals
Waiting for divine revelation to clarify what is above and below.
What's above and below
The speaker considers that uncertainty might be a reason for not letting go.
Maybe I can't let go
Reiteration of the internal struggle to release or move on.
Turned out a circle
A realization that the perceived long road was, in fact, a circular path.
What I thought was a long road
The speaker reflects on the misconception of a prolonged journey.
Maybe I can't let go
A repeated acknowledgment of the difficulty in letting go.
