The Things You Didn't Do

She was made to haunt your memory
She was born ten years too late
She was ready
For a chance you wouldn't take

You remember how she looked at you
How it took your breath away
Long ago and now you know
You should've stayed

Thinkin' about it later
You can't help wonderin' why
It's the things you didn't do
That make you cry

When the curtain started rising
When the band began to play
When they called your name
You turned and walked away

Thinkin' about it later
You can't help wonderin' why
It's the things you didn't do
That make you cry

Take a chance, lay it on the line
You'll never win
If you don't keep on tryin'

She was made to haunt your memory
She was born ten years too late
She was ready
For a chance you wouldn't take

Thinkin' about it later
You can't help wonderin' why
It's the things you didn't do
That make you cry

Thinkin' about it later
You can't help wonderin' why
It's the things you didn't do
That make you cry
