What I Didn't Do

I didn't cheat and 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 and 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, oh, 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.
