Lyrics (Start at 0:10):

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

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

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

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 l’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

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

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

Oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, Lord, say
Oh, Lord
See, I know
See, I know

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 l’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
