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 loved her
I just turned away
She's gone and now I'm hearing
All the things I didn't say

I didn't say I'm sorry, babe
Cos half the fault was mine
I didn't say we'll work it out
Cos 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 I'm 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 don't mean a thing
If you ain't here

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 some coffee and we'll talk
I didn't say the road away
Is such a long and lonely endless walk

I said goodbye, good luck and god bless you
Then she slipped away
And left me here to live with all
The things I didn't say

And now I guess she'll never hear
The things I didn't say
