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
