You've Done Nothing Wrong

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

as I was lying here just waiting for that early morning light
