Maybe I Would Feel Better

Maybe I would feel better if the year hadn't started out this way

Maybe I would feel better if someone had told me why some things had turned out the way they did instead of just leaving me in the dark

Maybe I would feel better if I had my best friend by my side, because in all honesty everything else would be okay if she was there

Maybe I would feel better if I didn't always feel like I was doing something wrong every time I tried my best

Maybe I would feel better if he was still here so we could pretend to study during prep

Maybe I would feel better if I turned the corner and he was still there

Maybe I would feel better if I could see his face one more time

Maybe I would feel better if he could tell me everything is going to be okay

Maybe I would feel better if the posters stopped falling off my wall

They never did last year

How's that for a metaphor for my life

Maybe I would feel better if life was better - but life isn't better
