Maybe
Unrequited Melodies: Yearning for Love in David Archuleta's 'Maybe'
Lyrics
There I was waiting for a chance
Expressing anticipation and waiting for an opportunity.
Hoping that you'll understand
Hoping for understanding regarding unspoken feelings.
The things I wanna say
Desire to communicate one's feelings.
As my love went stronger than before
Love growing stronger than before.
I wanna see you more and more
Expressing a yearning to be with the person more frequently.
But you closed your door
Encountering emotional barriers or rejection.
Why don't you try to open up your heart
Suggesting the idea of opening up emotionally.
I won't take so much of your time
Assuring not to take too much of the person's time.
Maybe it's wrong to say please love me too
Expressing a desire for reciprocal love despite uncertainty.
'Cause I know you'll never do
Recognizing the likelihood of unrequited love.
Somebody else is waitin' there inside for you
Hinting at the presence of someone else in the person's life.
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
Acknowledging potential wrongdoing in loving more each day.
'Cause I know he's here to stay
Acknowledging the presence of someone else as a challenge.
But I know to whom you should belong
Asserting a sense of belonging and commitment.
I believe what you said to me
Belief in the words spoken by the person.
We should set each other free
Suggesting the idea of letting go for mutual freedom.
That's how you want it to be
Confirming the person's desired state of the relationship.
But my love went stronger than before
Reiteration of love growing stronger despite the decision.
I wanna see you more and more
Expressing an increasing desire to be with the person.
But you closed your door
Encountering emotional barriers or rejection again.
Why don't you try to open up your heart
Encouraging the person to open up emotionally once more.
I won't take so much of your time
Reassuring not to take too much time from the person.
Maybe it's wrong to say please love me too
Repeating the desire for reciprocal love despite uncertainty.
'Cause I know you'll never do
Reiterating the acknowledgment of likely unrequited love.
Somebody else is waitin' there inside for you
Reinforcing the presence of someone else as an obstacle.
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
Repeating the acknowledgment of potential wrongdoing.
'Cause I know he's here to stay
Reiterating the challenge posed by the presence of someone else.
But my love is strong
Affirming the strength of love despite uncertainty.
I don't know if this is wrong
Expressing uncertainty about the perceived wrongness.
But I know to whom you should belong
Reaffirming a sense of belonging and commitment.
Ohh, yeah yeah ohh, ohh
Emotional expression and emphasis on the message.
Maybe it's wrong to say please love me too
Repeating the desire for reciprocal love despite uncertainty.
'Cause I know you'll never do
Reiterating the acknowledgment of likely unrequited love.
Somebody else is waitin' there inside for you
Reinforcing the presence of someone else as an obstacle.
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
Repeating the acknowledgment of potential wrongdoing.
'Cause I know he's here to stay
Reiterating the challenge posed by the presence of someone else.
But my love is strong
Affirming the strength of love despite uncertainty.
I don't know if this is wrong
Expressing uncertainty about the perceived wrongness.
But I know to whom you should belong
Reaffirming a sense of belonging and commitment with emphasis.
