Now the deed is done, and the smoke has cleared
From the ashes some glimmer of the truth appears
And it's a bitter pill, a little hard to take
I'd be the first to claim my share of mistakes
But the way things stood, I did the best I could, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Try to make amends, to be a friend, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
And now the window's closed, opportunity's fled
All that's left to do now is look back and shake our heads
And it breaks my heart, and it makes me mad
And I'll never know how so good went so bad
But the way things stood, I did the best I could, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Try to make amends, to be a friend
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
And maybe time's the only way to find
Some way back from this
But the way things stood, I did the best I could, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Try to make amends, to be a friend, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
