Regrets

(album: Summer Nights - 2017)

I wish that I could take back
All the things I said to hurt you
I didn't mean to be so cruel
And yet, I know that I am selfish
And at times, a jealous fool

Every thoughtless thing that I've done
Keeps coming back to haunt me
Because you took each one to heart
And as I realize, that it's my fault
We've grown worlds apart

I have regrets, regrets
For my mistaken thinking only of myself
And all that I have left
Are these regrets, regrets
For things I did, that somehow you just can't forgive
I guess I'll always have to live
With these regrets

If I could right the wrong, that I've done
Maybe I could stop your leaving
'Cause there's so much I'm guilty of
But it's too late to say I'm sorry
'Cause being sorry is not enough

'Cause with each angry word that I said
Your love for me was dying
And each one left a lasting scar
And right now, I feel so helpless
Wishing I could change the way things are

'Cause I have regrets, regrets
For my mistaken thinking only of myself
'Cause all that I have left
Are these regrets, regrets
For things I did, that somehow you just can't forgive
I guess I'll always have to live
With these regrets
