All the things I didn't say

I didn't say " don't do it, babe"

When she packed up to go

I didn't say "come back here , honey

And try with me once more"

And when she asked me if I love her

I just turned away.

She's gone , and now im hearing all the things

I didn't say.

I didn't say " im sorry, babe"

Cause half the fault was mine."

I didn't say "we'll work it out, cause all we need is love and faith and time"

I said : " if that’s the way you want it, I won't stand in your way".

She's gone , and now im hearing all the things

I didn't say.

I didn't take her in my arms and kiss away her tears.

I didn't say" my life doesn't mean if you ain't there".

I thought of all the many games I'd be free to play,

But all I do is listen to the things I didn't say.

I didn't say "take off your coat, I'll make coffee and we'll talk"

I didn't say " the road away is such a long and lonely endless walk"

I said " good bye, good luck, god bless you"

And she slipped away and left me here to live with all the things I didn't say………
