lyrics

She never stopped to say goodbye when she walked away
She never turned to look at me, or called out my name
You could read it on her face; you could see it in her pain
When you do the things I've done you don't get to explain

I wanted to take her in my arms, and hold her so tight
To wipe away those tears, and ease her worried mind
Instead I watched her walk away, and step onto that train
When you do the things I've done, you don't get to explain

When you do the things I've done, you don't get to explain
When someone's world come crashing down again and again
Now I'm here alone, standing in the rain
When you do the things I've done, you don't get to explain

I promised her everything that a lonely girl could want
She took my ring, and I took her heart
How could she have known I would cause her such pain?
When you do the things I've done you don't get to explain

When you do the things I've done you don't get to explain
When someone's world come crashing down again and again
Now I'm here alone, and I finally see it plain
When you do the things I've done you don't get to explain

I want to tell her all about the changes I will make
I want to say I'm sorry for every last mistake
I want her to hear about the little things I'll do
But in the end she'd know that none of it was true

She never stopped to say goodbye, when she walked away
She never turned to look at me or called out my name
You could read it on her face; you could see it in her pain
When you do the things I've done you don't get to explain
When you do the things I've done you don't get to explain
