Maybe it's just those same old things
Maybe it's just a waste of time
This reminds me so much of the day you said goodbye
And as you walked away still I would not admit
You were right, you were right

But then now it's a different state of things
Maybe it's more than I can take
'cause it seems like the world's against me now
And I need someone to show me how
But I still can't admit you were right, you were right
And I was wrong

Maybe I could change
Maybe I could change the world
Maybe I could change myself
Maybe I could change the world
Maybe I could have your love
I've been holding my hopes so high
But can't you help me now, my arms are so tired

And maybe they made the world that way
Maybe it's just a waste of time
Just like me, they turn the other way
And just like me, can't bring themselves to say
Now I know the mistakes that I have made
And if I try and if it's not too late
Then I can maybe admit you were right,
You were right, and I was wrong
