Verse 1

  I didn't cry

  I just stood and watched her say goodbye

  She closed the do-or

  And said "I don't want to see you anymore"

Chorus

  Things I should have said to her

  That maybe would have changed her mind to stay

  Things I should have said to her

  Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way"

Verse 2

Was it that she

Just couldn't understand a man like me

Was I to blame

Did I leave too many things unexplained?

[repeat chorus]

Bridge

  Why didn't I try telling her

  She was all I had

  Why didn't I try telling her

  Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad
