Now maybe, I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway and then maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway and so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch you crumble
As you falter down to the ground and then someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh, you were flying, oh, so high

But then someday people look at you
For what they call their own, they watch you suffer
Yeah, they hear you calling home
And then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
Yeah, but you left me far behind

Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you, oh, so bad
But I did it anyway
Now I'm saying, maybe
Some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain, no, no, no
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer

And 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 rare
Won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone

And then someday comes tomorrow holds
A sense of what I feel 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

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

Oh, no, no, no no
Oh, no
See I know
See I know

But maybe, said maybe
I didn't mean to treat you, oh, so bad
But I did it anyway, sayin' now maybe
Some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
Now I've said, but 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

Now I 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
