"What I Didn't Do" lyrics

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 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 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've 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
