i didn't cheat and i didn't lie

so her leavin took me by surprise

just a note on the table

sayin'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 plannin her nights

by the tv guide

she needed me with her

more than i knew

i was too busy workin'

getting ahead

when i should have been home

lovin 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

ohh

it's not what i did

it's what i didn't do
