"Maybe (Next To Normal)" lyrics

Maybe I've lost it at last
Maybe my last lucid moment has passed
I'm dancing with death, I suppose
But really who knows?

Maybe I'm tired of the game
Of coming up short of the rules of the shame
And maybe you feel that way too
I see me in you

A girl full of anger and hope
A girl with a mother who just couldn't cope
A girl who felt caught and thought no one could see
That maybe one day she'll be free

Things will get better you'll see
Not for me
Things will get better you'll see
Not for me, you'll see
Not for me, you'll see
Not for me, you'll see

Maybe we can't be okay
But maybe we're tough and we'll try anyway
We'll live with what's real
Let go of what's passed
And maybe I'll see you at last

I don't need a life that's normal, that's way too far away
But something next to normal would be okay
Yeah, something next to normal
That's the thing I'd like to try
Close enough to normal to get by
We'll get by
We'll get by
