"Maybe IDK" is a song by Jon Bellion, released as the sixth track from his debut studio album, The Human Condition (2016).
Concerning the cover artwork, done by David Ardinaryas Lojaya, Bellion said in an interview to Complex, "It's just a big illustration of my frustration. Everytime you hear me say 'but maybe thats ok' is what you are seeing, it matches the intensity of the lyric in that moment. The entire song up until that point is the Kamehameha wave build up."[1]

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wonder why I get paranoid when I'm high
I wonder why I say yes to everyone in my life
I wonder why I can't run that fast in my dreams
I wonder why I feel short when I know my money's tall
I wonder why I miss everyone and I still don't call
I wonder why I can't run that fast in my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Although I guess if I knew tomorrow
I guess I wouldn't need faith
I guess if I never fell
I guess I wouldn't need grace
I guess if I knew His plans
I guess He wouldn't be God, God, God
[Chorus]
So maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
Maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
But maybe that's okay
Maybe that's okay, maybe that's okay
Maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
But maybe that's okay
[Verse 2]
I wonder why I feel emptiness and I sing these blues
I wonder why I feel hopelessness when I watch the news
I wonder why I can't find my voice in my dreams
I wonder why they say hate your brother and hide your gold
I wonder why we all fear the things that we might not know
I wonder why I can't find my voice in my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Although I guess if I knew tomorrow
I guess I wouldn't need faith
I guess if I never fell
I guess I wouldn't need grace
I guess if I knew His plans
I guess He wouldn't be God, God, God
[Chorus]
So maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
Maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
But maybe that's okay
Maybe that's okay, maybe that's okay
Maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
But maybe that's okay
[Bridge]
All this shit, I can't explain
Is it by design or random fate, yeah
[Chorus]
So maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
Maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
But maybe that's okay
Maybe that's okay, maybe that's okay
Maybe I don't know, maybe I don't know
But maybe that's okay
