things i should have said
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"  Was it that she Just couldn't understand a man like me Was I to blame Did I leave too many things unexplained?  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  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  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
