"Didn't I"

Didn't I try hard enough to understand your ways
Didn't I stay strong enough through all our stormy days
Like I'd be clinging to our little house so close were you and I
Then came the day you just walked away and I lost you didn't I
Didn't I kiss you often enough didn't I hold you tight
And didn't I say I love you each time we kissed goodnight
Darling please tell me what I didn't do cause I tried so hard to make you see
But above everything in this world you were all that was meant for me
And you know I've thought I was all that you wanted in fact you've told me so
But I guess I failed somewhere along the way and just where I'd give my life to know
Like I'd be clinging to our little house so close were you and I
Then came the day you just walked away and I lost you didn't I
