What I Didn't Do

I didn't cheat,

I didn't lie,

So her leaving took me by surprise.

Just a note on the table,

Saying we're through.

At first I went crazy,

So it took me sometime.

But I finally read between the lines.

It's not what I did,

It's what I didn't do.

I didn't tell her,

Each day I loved her.

I took it for granted,

Somehow she knew.

I didn't hold her,

When she needed a shoulder.

It's not what I did,

It's what I didn't do.

Now it's easy to see,

Why her love died.

She was planning her nights,

By the T.V. Guide.

She needed me with her,

More than I knew.

I was too busy working,

Getting ahead.

When I should of been home,

Loving her instead.

It's not what I did,

It's what I didn't do.

I didn't tell her,

Each day I loved her.

I took it for granted,

Somehow she knew.

I didn't hold her,

When she needed a shoulder.

It's not what I did,

It's what I didn't do.

Oh, It's not what I did,

It's what I didn't do.
