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.
