"You've Done Nothing Wrong" lyrics - IRIS DEMENT

IRIS DEMENT
"You've Done Nothing Wrong"

Well, 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 here beside me
Even when the love was gone
And just because I'm hurting
That don't mean that you've done something wrong

Well, 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

[Chorus:]
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, oh, 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"

[Chorus:]
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, oh, that early morning light
