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 TV 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
