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 hеre"
I thought of all the many games
I'd bе 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 walk"

I said, "Goodbye, good luck and God bless you"
She turned and walked 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
