Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad

But I did anyway, and now maybe

Some would say your life was sad

But you lived it anyway, and so maybe

Your friends they stand around to watch you crumble

As you fall down to the ground and then someday

Your friends, they stand beside as you were flying

Oh, you were flying, oh, so high

[Verse 2]

But then some day people look at you

Through what they call their own, they watch you suffer

Yeah, they hear you calling home

And then someday we could take our time

To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us

Hey, but you left me far behind

[Chorus]

Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh, so bad

But I did it anyway

Now I'm saying, but maybe, some would say you left with what you had

But you couldn't share the pain, yeah

[Verse 3]

No, no, no

Couldn't share the pain they watch you suffer, mhm

Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes

But I live with what I've known

And then maybe, we might share in something great

Won't you look at where we've grown

Won't you look at where we've gone

[Verse 4]

And then someday comes, tomorrow holds

Sense of what I fear for you in my mind

As you trip the final line

And that cold day when you lost control

Shame you left my life so soon, you should have told me

Hey, but you left me far behind

[Chorus]

Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh, so bad

Oh, but I did it anyway

Now maybe, some would say you're left with what you had

Oh, but you couldn't share the pain

No, no, no, no

[Bridge]

Oh, no

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Oh, Lord, say

Oh, Lord

See, I know

See, I know

[Outro]

But maybe, I said, maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh, so bad

Oh, but I did it anyway now

So m-maybe, now, oh Lord, baby, some would say you're left with what you had

But you couldn't share the pain

Now I've said, now, times have changed, your friends they come

And watch you crumble to the ground

They watch you suffer

Yeah, they hold you down, hold on down

Said maybe, maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad

But you left me far behind

Left me far behind

Left me far behind
