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.
