Now the deed is done and the smoke has cleared
From the ashes some glimmer of the truth appears
It's a bitter pill a little hard to take
I'll 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 be a friend
Didn't I didn't I didn't I
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...
Maybe time's the only way to find some way back from this
[ guitar ]
But the way things stood I did the best I could...
Didn't I didn't I didn't I
