 (Iris DeMent)
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 there beside me even when the love was gone
and just because I'm hurting
that don't mean that you've done something wrong
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 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"
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
