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 you [bad word] 
 As you fall to the ground 
 And 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 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 
 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 [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
