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’ll be the first to claim
My share of the stakes

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

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 why
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

Mabye time’s the only way to find
Someway 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
