Maybe

Love was the egg

See

And it was born in a cloud

With silver lining

Uh-huh, but it broke

I mean it hatched on the ground

So time flew right by me

And voilà

I know you thought your life was gon' be easy

When you didn't call

You found that you were wrong, ha

See, I know you thought your life was gon' be easy

You thought you had it all

But you found that you were wrong

See, maybe

There was something wrong

And you weren't telling me, no, oh

See, see, maybe

The laugh's on me

And life was telling me a joke (joke)

Well, they say

If something's yours and you let it go

If it comes back to you, it was yours all along

Well, I let you go along with those lies from you

I wonder what else lies in you

Or did the lies just eat it gone?

See, I know you thought your life was gon' be easy

When you didn't call

You found that you were wrong

See, I know you thought your life was gon' be easy

You thought you had it all

But you found that you were wrong

See, maybe

There was something wrong

And you weren't telling me, no, oh

See, see, maybe

The laugh's on me

And life was telling me a joke (joke)

Babe, yo

Hold it now

Is y'all there?

How you feel right now?

Yeah, me too

Hey, yeah

(Oh) babe

Hold it now

Y'all alright?

See, do you remember?

What it's like to wake up in

Her love nest?

Get it? Love nest?

And now she's gone

Gone

Gone

Gone

At which point, you realize

Life is but a joke

And it laughs on you

It's funny, right?

Babe
