Candlebox Lyrics

Far Behind

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 crumble
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 brush 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 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 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
They come and watch you crumble 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

It's Alright

It's alright what you confess to me
Where you're at right now baby
It's alright with me
Behind you truths or somewhere inside your lies
These long cold days of grey they colour your eyes
And it's alright what you confide in me
Where we're at right now baby, it's where we need to be
And I can see things so clearly through tear-stained eyes
The side effects of time in all good-byes

And it's alright, I got lost some time ago
Lost in your song, your touch
Your smile and where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blonde-washed hair
From an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me I found myself again
In her song

It's alright what you say to me
How you feel right now baby shows an everlasting need
Behind the truth there's something inside your lies
These long cold days of rain, they're hiding your eyes
But it's alright what you express to me
Your song escapes me to this place I want to be
So sing to me baby
Your song can carry me through endless weeks of rain
And onto sweeter things

Oh sing to me baby, your song can carry me
In all she's revealed, I found I could always see
How her ways could flow and run over me
And I found this reason to learn, a reason to decide
As many days come and many go
I'll never wonder why
