Intro

Verse

Now maybe

I didn't 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 your crumble

As you falter to the ground

And then someday

Your friends they stand beside as you were flying

Oh you were flying oh so high

But them someday people look at you for what they call their own

They watch you suffer

Yeah they hear you calling home

But then some day we could take our time

To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us

But you left me far behind

Chorus

Now may--ay-ay--ay-be

I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad

But I did it anyway

Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be 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

Verse

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 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

But you left me far behind

Chorus

Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad

Oh, but I did it anyway

Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be some would say you're left with what you had

Oh, but you couldn't share the pain

No, no, no

Oh no. Oh no no no no...

Chorus

Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad

But I did it anyway

Now may-e-ay-ay-e-ay-be 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)

Now maybe brother, maybe love

I didn't mean to treat you bad

But you left me far behind

Left me far behind

Left me far

Behind
