When I was a young man Some things I couldn't see Holding on to hopes and dreams That now mean nothing to me When I reflect on the past It sometimes seems How I wish that I could change so many things But now I must embrace That the past cannot be changed The cold regrets like poison That infect the ageing brain Regrets I have more than a few Regrets Cause the past we can't undo Regrets Are the substance of the things we wish to change But history cannot be rearranged Regrets Regrets Regrets Regrets Some things in life can never be explained No matter how much we cry From the bitter brew of shame And all the tears of youth That weep across life's span The wretched truth from yesterday That rained upon our plans Regrets I have more than a few Regrets From events that were in our youth Regrets Are the substance of the things we wish to change But history cannot be rearranged How can we heal From the deepest wounds within The wounds that bleed The wounds that won't forgive Regrets I have more than a few Regrets Cause the past we can't undo Regrets are the substance of the things we wish to change But history cannot be rearranged Regrets Regrets Regrets "Regret" Regrets Regrets "Regret"
