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, '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 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
