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 fall to the ground
And then 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
The world they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah, they hear you calling home
And then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
Hey, but you left me far behind
Now maybe 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
Couldn't share the pain, and watch you suffer, mm
Now maybe 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 should've told me
Hey, but you left me far behind
Now maybe I didn't meant 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
Oh no
Oh, no, no, no, no
Oh, don't say it
Oh my Lord
See I know
See I know
But maybe, said maybe
Didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
Oh, but I did it anyway now, saying now maybe, baby
Some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
Now I said, but 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, oh, maybe didn't mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind
Far Behind Video (MV)
"Far Behind" is a song by the American rock/metal band Candlebox and the third single from their eponymous debut album. It is one of the band's most well-known songs, entering the charts in July 1993 and remaining there until January the following year when it was officially released as a single.
"Far Behind" is one of a few hit 1990s singles written in tribute to the late singer Andrew Wood. In a 1994 interview with Playgirl, Candlebox frontman Kevin Martin stated that it was inspired by two friends who overdosed on heroin and "represents the loss of love between friends and having to be left with the feeling of emptiness."
He elaborated in a 2008 interview:
"I wrote 'Far Behind' for Andy Wood. I was a huge Malfunkshun fan and a huge Mother Love Bone fan and I got to know Andy early on in his career when I was working in a shoe store with Susan Silver who was managing Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains."
It is the group's highest-charting hit, peaking at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100, after spending almost a year on the chart. It also reached #4 and #7, on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks and Modern Rock Tracks charts, respectively. "Far Behind" was also included on The Best of Candlebox in 2006.
