Lyrics
MAYBE I WAS WRONG
Don?t want to spend one more night alone
so I go to this place not far from home
I sit in the back hidden by the haze
and think about my better days
But gazing across the smoky bar
my heart nearly stops
The man I left is tuning his guitar
ready to play the big country star
Maybe I was wrong but I can?t face him
Shouldn?t really stay, I don?t know what to say
Made a big mistake I didn?t understand
Maybe he loved me all along
Maybe I was wrong
I hear the cheers of the rowdy crowd
when the band runs on stage lookin? so proud
He steps to the mike and begins to play
and turns around and looks my way
He?s singing the song ?Have No Fear?
but stops halfway through
His smile lights up when he sees I?m here
my eyes drown in a flood of tears
Maybe I was wrong but I can?t face him
Shouldn?t really stay, I don?t know what to say
Made a big mistake I didn?t understand
Maybe he loved me all along
Maybe I was wrong
Our eyes lock, defenses fall, now I realize he loves me after all
Maybe I was wrong, it?s time to face him
Shouldn?t really go, now I know what to say
Made a big mistake, I didn?t understand
That he loved me all along
Oh yeah, he loved me all along
No doubt now maybe I was wrong
