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"

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?

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
