You Didn't Have To Go

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go, you know

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go, you know

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go, you know

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go

I drew a map

So that I would not forget

But I miss the sounds

Of your heart

Back and forth, under my feet again

And I'll tell the story of you

To my children

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go, you know

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go, you know

You didn't have to go

I never thought we'd end up here

You didn't have to go, you know

Thought I could stay, I'd persevere

You didn't have to go

My mother sitting by my side

You didn't have to go

Until the painting's realised

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go, you know

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go, you know

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go, you know

You didn't have to go

You didn't have to go
