Brian Yorkey - Maybe (Next To Normal) lyrics

[DIANA] Maybe I've lost it at last Maybe my last lucid moment has pa**ed I'm dancing with d**h, I suppose But really, who knows? Could be I'm crazy to go They say you should stay with the devil you know But when life needs a change and the one devil won't You fly to the devil you don't 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 [NATALIE] It's so lovely that you're sharing No, really, I'm all ears But where has all this caring been for sixteen years? For all those years I'd prayed that you'd go away for good Half the time afraid that you really would When I thought you might be dying I cried for all we've never be But there'll be no more crying Not for me [DIANA] Things will get better you'll see You'll see You'll see You'll see You'll see... [NATALIE] Not for me Not for me Not for me Not for me 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 past And maybe I'll see you at last We tried to give you a normal life. I realize now, I have no clue what that is [NATALIE] 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 [DIANA] We'll get by [NATALIE] We'll get by
