[Verse 1]

Now maybe

I didn't mean to treat you bad

But I did it anyway

And then 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 then someday

Your friends, they stand beside as you were flyin'

Oh, you were flyin' 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

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

[Chorus]

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're left with what you had

But you couldn't share the pain, no, no, no

[Post-Chorus]

Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer

Mm

[Verse 2]

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

Won't you look at where we've grown

Won't you look at where we've gone

And 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 shoulda told me

Hey, but you left me far behind

[Chorus]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Oh no

Oh no, no, no, no, no

Oh no, said oh no

Said oh no

Said oh no

But may—

[Chorus]

I said maybe

Didn't mean to treat you oh-so bad

Oh, but I did it anyway, no

Said oh no, maybe, baby

Some would say you're left with what you had

But you couldn't share the pain, no

I 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 love, oh, maybe love

Didn't mean to treat you bad

But you left me far behind

Left me far behind

Left me far behind
