Now maybe
I did not mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway

And now 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 to the ground

And now someday
Your friends they stand beside
As you 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

But then someday
We could take our time
To brush the leaves aside
So you can reach us
But you left me far behind

Now maybe
I did not mean to treat you, oh, so bad
But I did it anyway

Now 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

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
But won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone

But then someday comes tomorrow
Holds a 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
But you left me far behind

Now maybe
I did not mean to treat you, oh, so bad
But I did it anyway

Now maybe
Some would say you're left
With what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no, no

But maybe
I did not mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway

Now maybe
Some would say you're left
With what you had
But you couldn't share the pain

I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you
Crumble to the ground

They watch you suffer
Yeah, they hold you down
Hold you down

Maybe brother, maybe love
I did not mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind
