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
