[Intro: Maisie Peters & JP Saxe]
I should hang up the phone, you said, "maybe don't"
And I think I should go, you said, "maybe don't"
'Cause I run from the things that I want the most
You said, "I get that's what you do, but-"
[Verse 1: Maisie Peters]
We should never speak again
Because I like you
And lately it's been only getting worse
So we should never speak again
Because I want to
I've run through every outcome and in every one I'm hurt
Oh, I hate surprises
But you surprise me
[Chorus: Maisie Peters & JP Saxe]
I should hang up the phone, you said, "maybe don't"
And I think I should go, you said, "maybe don't"
'Cause I run from the things that I want the most
You said, "I gеt that's what you do, but maybe don't"
I'm not saying I'm wrong, but you're maybe right
I don't know how to fall asleep unlеss you say goodnight
Said, "I run from the things that I want the most"
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't"
[Verse 2: JP Saxe]
I'm hoping I could get a word with your expectations
'Cause they don't seem to be based on you and me
Yeah, you been making group decisions, about us, without us
Tell me what I'm gonna say and let me edit
I think it could be different if you let it
[Chorus: Maisie Peters & JP Saxe]
I should hang up the phone, you said, "maybe don't"
And I think I should go, you said, "maybe don't"
'Cause I run from the things that I want the most
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't"
I'm not saying I'm wrong, but you may be right
I don't know how to fall asleep unless you say goodnight
Yeah, I run from the things that I want the most
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't"
[Post-Chorus: Maisie Peters & JP Saxe]
Maybe don't
Maybe don't
Yeah, I run from the things that I want the most
And I get that's what you do, but-
[Bridge: Maisie Peters, Maisie Peters & JP Saxe]
This is just a heads up
I mess people's heads up
Only 'cause I'm scared of losing mine
If you could be less honest
Tick a couple less boxes
I could sabotage this and still be justified
[Chorus: Maisie Peters & JP Saxe, Maisie Peters, JP Saxe]
I should hang up the phone, you said, "maybe don't"
I should always be alone, you said, "maybe don't"
'Cause I run from the things that I want the most
I said, "I guess that's what I (you) do, but the more I think it through
I'm not saying that I'm wrong, but you may be right
And I'm running out of reasons to push you aside
Yeah, I run from the things that I want the most"
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't"
Maybe Don’t was written by Joe Rubel & JP Saxe & Maisie Peters.

In an 2020 interview with womeninpop, Maisie talked about the song, and how it came about:
It was really amazing to do. He was playing in London right before lockdown, so, it was one of those moments where it could have almost not happened which I think is funny. He was like we should meet up for...
