The things I didn’t say
I didn’t say, “Don’t do it, babe”
When she packed up to go
I didn’t say, “Come back here, honey
And try with me once more”.
And when she asked me if I loved her
I just turned away.
She’s gone, and now I’m hearing
All the things I didn’t say
I didn’t say, I’m sorry, babe,
Cause half the fault was mine”
I didn’t say well work it out,
Cause all we need is LOVE and FAITH and TIME”
I said, if that’s the way you want it,
I won’t stand in your way
She’s gone, and now I’m hearing
All the thing s I didn’t say
I didn’t take her in my arms and kiss away her tears
I didn’t say, my life don’ts mean
A thing if you aren’t here
I thought of all the many games id is free to play
But all I do is listen to
The things I didn’t say
I didn’t say, “Take off your coat…
Ill makes some coffee, and well tail
I didn’t say, the road away is such
A long and lonely endless walk”
I said” good-bye, good luck,
God bless you” and she slipped away
And left me here to live with all
The thing I didn’t say
