this song is devastatingly sad - you can totally miss it because of how upbeat it is. He loves her so much, he cant bring himself to believe what he is seeing. Oh Maxine - why?? hehe
yeah kind of. He realizes that she is cheating but he can't bring himself to believe that she would do such a thing. If you've ever loved someone and been cheated on by them its a hard pill to swallow.
Its about a guy who loves a girl and she is clearly cheating on him but he can't bring himself to believe that she would do such a thing. Hence "It's funny how my eyes keep seeing things my heart
Would not believe are true" Good song but still really sad...
when i first heard this song, i had it on repeat for about 3 hours. no joke!!!!when i hear a song that i really love, i drift into my own fantasy world!!!!reality is not that cool:)
i love this song....this reminds me of walking down the street in slow motion and seeing your ex and then hes looking at you like: why did i let her go, and also having flashbacks on your guys relationship..
May aswell say that my name is maxine too!!haha just goes to show how many people type their name into you tube when their called Maxine!lol hi to all you girls with the same name as me!xxx
WOW WTF! I heard this and had too search this up! I did not know this was John Legend! I love his music, I mean I randomly heard this and public and had to have it on my playlist! I have John legend Songs already but I thought this was a white guy(no offence) it must have been the radio I heard it on.
Hugh!?! I only heard "Maxine" when the song was at about into three minutes! With one to go! Aw well I once had a dog named Maxine so I might as well not complain about it I know my Maxine wouldn't be happy if I complained of her name if she was still around.
this is my jam it reminds me of elevator music

My take, he sees his ex that had moved on ..... sad.
I like the whole "Maxine interlude" & the "Where did my baby go" on the album that falls into this song.
