Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And not maybe 
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And now maybe 
Your friends they stand beside they watch you [bad word] As you falter to the ground
And now maybe
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But then some day 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 [bad word] the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didn't 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 
Yes 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 [bad word] 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 didn't meant 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
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
No 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 [bad word] and watch you [bad word] to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hold you down 
Hold you down
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
