I didn't cheat, I didn't lie
So her leaving took me by surprise
Just a note on the table saying we're though
At first I went crazy, so it took me some time
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 sholder
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 tv guide
She needed me with her more than I knew
I was too busy working getting ahead
When I should have 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 sholder
It's not what I did, it's what I didn't do.
Ohh, it's not what I did, it's what I didn't do...
