Exercise 28


I didn't cheat, I didn't lie,
so her leaving took me by surprise.
Just a note on the table,
saying we're through.

At first I went crazy,
so it took me some time.
but I finally read between the lines.
It's not what I did,
it's what I didn't do.

I did not tell her
each day I loved her.
I took it for granted,
somehow she knew.
I didn't hold her,
when she needed a shoulder.
It's not what I did,
it's what I didn't do.

Now it's easy to see,
why her love died.
She was planning her nights,
by the TV Guide.
She needed me with her,
more than I knew.
I was too busy working,…
[No la engañé, no le mentí ]
[Así que su partida me tomó por sorpresa ]
[Sólo una nota en la mesa ]
[Diciendo que hemos terminado ]

[Al principio me volví loco ]
[Así que me llevó algún tiempo ]
[Pero finalmente leí entre líneas ]
[No es lo que hice ]
[Es lo que no hice ]

[No le dije ]
[Cada día que la quería ]
[Lo daba por sentado ]
[De alguna manera lo supo ]
[No la abracé ]
[Cuando necesitaba un hombro ]
[No es lo que hice ]
[Es lo que no hice ]

[Ahora es fácil ver ]
[Por qué su amor murió ]
[Estaba planeando sus noches ]
[por la guía de televisión ]
[Me necesitaba con ella ]
[Más de lo que supe ]
[Estaba demasiado ocupado trabajando,...]
