Maybe it's not...

Maybe it's not what you think
But it's what I think
What I do, what I say
How I deal with people everyday
You're different from me
We don't think the same things
You're opinion is golden, but so is mine
You may label it one way, but my label is fine

Maybe it's not what you feel
But it's what I feel
You may feel this way, but I feel deeply
You may hide things, but I wear my heart on my sleeve
It doesn't make you right
and it doesn't make me wrong
You may sing one thing
But I sing my song

Maybe it's not how you say it
But it's how I say it
You might mean something, but I mean this
What you may say can hurt
But what I say brings me bliss
I may be contradicted, but it's what's on my mind
Whether you say this, or I say that, we're all one of a kind

Maybe it's not how you mean it
But it's how I mean it
You're meaning may be nicer
and I know mine is meaner
You may speak the truth, but I have implications
You accept everyone and I have invitations
But I can be nice, and you can be rude
Saying things you don't mean, while I sometimes speak the truth
You're meaning is different, but maybe I mean the same
But meanings can differ even though we play the same game

Maybe it's not what you think
But it's what I think
I don't write this because I'm always right
and you're always wrong
I write this because I'm entitled to feel how I feel
think what I think, and mean what I mean
But so are you
We're only human, and we're all different
I do what makes me happy, and I know you do too
Whatever we each may feel, it's always true

  1. Rachel. This gave me chills. I can really relate.

    My favorite part,
    "You may hide things, but I wear my heart on my sleeve
    It doesn't make you right
    and it doesn't make me wrong
    You may sing one thing
    But I sing my song."
