Well, you told me that you wished that things had not,
Turned out this way.
You never thought there'd come a time,
When you would go away.
But you stayed right here beside me,
Even when the love was gone.
And just because I'm hurting,
That don't mean that you've done something wrong.

Well, you said that you were sorry,
And you'd take all the blame.
But we both shared the gamble,
So let's both share the pain.
Like a breeze that blew across us,
Love just moved along.
And just because I'm hurting,
That don't mean that you've done something wrong.

We were happy for awhile dear,
But that's all over now.
I'll pick up the pieces,
And I'll get along somehow.
But it all came back too clearly,
In my bed, alone, tonight, as I was,
Lying here just waiting for,
Oh, that early morning light.

Now you've gone so far away, dear,
And these words I cannot say.
I cursed at you for leaving,
Slammed the door and ran away.
In your face, I saw the sadness,
But I've waited, now, too long,
To tell you: "I still love you,
"And you've done nothing wrong."

'Cause we were happy for awhile dear,
But that's all over now.
I'll pick up the pieces,
And I'll get along somehow.
But it all came back too clearly,
In my bed, alone, tonight, as I was,
Lying here just waiting for,
Oh, that early morning lit.
