(thoughtful intro)
Now maybe,
I did not 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 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
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
(upbeat)
Now maybe,
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad, But I did it anyway
Now I said maybe,
some would say you're left with what you had, But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no
(thoughtful slowdown)
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer
mm-hmm
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 fear for you in my mind, As you trip the final line
And that cold day,
when you lost control a shame you left my life so soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind, yeah
(upbeat)
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, Aw, but you couldn't share the pain.
No, no, no
(instrumental)
Oh no
Oh no no n-no no...
See I know
See I know
See I know
Now maybe, said maybe,
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad, oh but I did it anyway,
now maybe baby,
some would say you're left with what you had, But you couldn't share the pain,
now 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 on down
Now maybe lover, 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 must be your skin
I'm sinking in
It must be for real
'cause now I can feel
I didn't mind
It's not my kind
It's not my time
to wonder why
Everything's gone white
And everything's gray
Now you're here
now you're away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget
where you're at
Don't let the days go by, Glycerine. Glycerine.
I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one
or do you lie?
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise
it's like strawberry fields
I treated you bad
You bruised my face
Couldn't love you more
You got a beautiful taste
Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine. Glycerine.
Don't let the days go by, Glycerin.
Don't let the days go by...
Glycerine! Glycerine!
Glycerine! Glycerine!
Bad moon white again
Bad moon white again
And she falls around me
I needed you more
When we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
It might just be me
Clear simple and plain
Well, that's just fine
That's just one of my names
Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you, you, you
Glycerine. Glycerine.
Glycerine. Glycerine.
warm sun feed me up and i'm leery loaded up
loathing for a change and i slip some, boil away
swallowed. followed.
heavy about everything, but my love
swallowed. sorrowed.
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet...
just wanna be myself
hey you said that you would, love to try some
hey you said that you would, love to die some
in the middle of a world on a fishhook
you're the wave you're the wave you're the wave
swallowed. borrowed.
heavy about everything, but my love
swallowed. hollowed.
sharp about everyone, but yourself
swallowed. oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and you're not
I'm with everyone and yet
piss on self-esteem
forward, busted knee
sick head
blackened lungs, and I'm a simple, selfish son
swallowed. followed.
heavy about everything, but my love
swallowed. oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
got to get away from here
got to get away from here
got to get away from here
got to get away from here
'miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot
a lot...
