About Maybe

"Maybe" is a pop song written by Kara DioGuardi, Enrique Iglesias, Steve Morales and David Siegel for Iglesias' 2001 album, Escape. Iglesias stated in many interviews that the song was his favorite track from the album Escape. In 2002, the album was reissued with two new tracks, one of which was a reworking of the song dubbed the "Mark Taylor Mix". This version changed the song from a rhythmic piano based ballad into a slower guitar driven song. This version of the song was released as the fifth single from the album. The song caused minor controversy when Britney Spears debuted a new song during her Dream Within a Dream Tour called "My Love was Always There" which featured similar lyrics to the chorus of Iglesias's Maybe as well as the same melody throughout the song. The single was released in November 2002 and became successful in UK, Ireland and New Zealand, peaking into the Top 40 in those countries.

If I had one single wish
I'd go back to the moment I kissed 
You goodbye no mater how hard I try
I can't live without you in my life

Maybe you'll say
You still want me
Maybe you'll say
That you don't
Maybe we said
It was over
But baby I can't let you go

I walk around
Trying to understand
Where we went wrong
And I can't pretend
It wasn't me
And it wasn't you
But I'm convinced
We gave up too soon

Maybe you'll say
You still want me
Maybe you'll say
That you don't
Maybe we said
It was over
But baby
I can't let you go

Nothing left to lose
After losing you
There's nothing
I can't take
When I run to you
When I come for you
Don't tell me
I'm too late

Maybe you'll say
You still want me
Maybe you'll say
That you don't
Maybe we said
It was over
But baby I can't let you go

(Maybe you'll say
You still want me
Maybe you'll say
That you don't
Maybe we said
It was over
But baby I) can't let you go

(Maybe we said
It was over)
But baby I can't let you go
