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
N.. N..

Things I should have said to her
