Things I Didn't Do

I called you on the phone every day,
I raised your spirits up when you were blue,
So why am I here eating out my heart,
Over things I didn't do?.

And I wrote to you when I was overseas,
I told you I would always pull you through,
So why am I here beating up myself,
For the things I didn't do?.

I didn't really think of us as permanent,
I didn't really keep you from the cold,
I didn't really think that you were serious,
I didn't plan to stay around and watch you growing old...

I came to you when you cried for help,
I always understood your point of view,
To lie awake all night just to watch you sleep,
I didn't think that I was yours or that you were mine...

I stood beside yo in your darkest hour,
I always tried to do my best for you,
But I know my best could never take the place,
Of the things I didn't do...
Yes, I know my best could never take the place,
Of the things I didn't do...
The things I didn't do...
The things I didn't do...
