Verse 1] You say you couldn't know what you would want by now. I believe you. That is part of what is hard. There isn't some dishonest sentence I can point to, some earlier warning I refused to understand. You sounded like a person who had thought about it. I asked you twice because it mattered that you had. You said I didn't have to keep my options open. I was so tired of living with a bag half packed. [Chorus] There are the things I didn't do. They don't arrive to tell their side. The place I didn't take, the call I let go by, the other life that never learnt my name. You look around and see so little in your way. I made that space for you. There are the things I didn't do. [Verse 2] You say you cannot give me back a year by staying. I know. I haven't asked you for a counterfeit. I don't want breakfast with a person counting exits or kindness with a little anger under it. But when you tell the story of becoming honest, leave room for what your honesty arrived too late to save. I didn't lose a bet I placed against your wishes. I listened to the answer that you gave. [Chorus] There are the things I didn't do. They don't arrive to tell their side. The place I didn't take, the call I let go by, the other life that never learnt my name. You look around and see so little in your way. I made that space for you. There are the things I didn't do. [Bridge] Some days I want that life more than I want you. That doesn't make the missing any smaller. I cannot make you mean it for another season. You cannot make this end at being sorry. [Outro] Before you go, sit down with me a minute. We have to work out what happens Monday. You can stop wanting what we wanted. I still have to live where we put it.
