Regrets Lyrics

[00:00.49] Regrets
[00:11.06] Regrets
[00:11.78] I moved the glass to my lips, took a sip and sighed
[00:14.17] Why does it feel like our life's on a slip and slide?
[00:16.82] Kids, they add stress, work ain't working the best
[00:18.72] But that ain't the explanation why this love is a mess
[00:21.47] I guess priorities are prioritized over time
[00:24.06] And the only moments we spend are sleeping side by side
[00:27.54] Morning breaks, same old nags and complaints
[00:29.36] I'm just trying to drink my coffee
[00:30.91] If we engage, then we'll be late
[00:32.66] I push it down to avoid a situation
[00:35.58] But all it does is come out in the public places
[00:38.06] Can't be as open when they recognise our faces
[00:40.35] If they think it's heated, I guess that's an understatement
[00:43.13] But it used to be alive, be electric, burning bright
[00:45.44] There's a spark left in the embers, find some gasoline tonight
[00:48.00] Shut the world down, put the past behind
[00:50.18] See the mountain, got so far to climb
[00:52.04] Is all that's left for you and I
[00:53.69] Regrets
[00:54.93] I'm not saying it's all in my head
[00:57.48] But I can't help thinking what's next
[00:59.91] When tomorrow is all we got left
[01:02.56] Confessing regrets
[01:05.35] Why's there distance when we're right here?
[01:08.26] Is the anger just proof we care?
[01:10.92] A love in war is not fair
[01:13.65] Confessing regrets
[01:15.23] You're too young to understand that daddy's coming home
[01:17.22] Every time I leave the house, you think I'm forever gone
[01:19.94] Guess it's from the hundred calls goodnights on the telephone
[01:22.40] See, this tour I got to get it done, but why though?
[01:25.20] Always said I'd pause work as soon as you came
[01:27.31] Without structure I just slipped into depression again
[01:29.92] This is just one of the things that I could never explain each and every day
[01:33.93] Rolling the dice, forever caught in the game
[01:36.09] Still uprooting you both until the sickness started
[01:38.78] Missed appointments ripped apart
[01:40.57] Aimed to be the best dad here, but missed the mark
[01:43.25] Breaking both you and your sister's heart and your mother's too
[01:46.40] I see the wood for the trees 'cause there's no other truth
[01:49.03] I gotta stop putting work so far in front of you
[01:51.84] 'Cause there is so much more love that a man can lose
[01:54.57] Trying to get back what I've lost
[01:56.30] Sitting here and all I've got is
[01:57.48] Regrets
[01:58.80] I'm not saying it's all in my head
[02:01.29] But I can't help thinking what's next
[02:04.06] When tomorrow is all we got left
[02:06.84] Confessing regrets
[02:09.49] Why's there distance when we're right here?
[02:12.09] Is the anger just proof we care?
[02:14.93] A love in war's not fair
[02:17.50] Confessing regrets
[02:19.06] Three generations of women in my life
[02:21.09] They keep me stood
[02:21.37] I know that I don't keep in touch with your mum as much as I should
[02:23.89] I know that you got your battles the same as me
[02:25.84] DNA in us, we feel so much shame in us
[02:28.31] What we offer ain't enough
[02:29.81] These thoughts get dangerous
[02:31.29] One way that the pain can stop
[02:32.41] Hope and pray that both my little girls, they ain't the same as us
[02:34.92] Missed out on so much, I really need to make it up
[02:37.40] Take you on a plane and just, you know?
[02:40.03] I wish there was more one on one and you didn't share your son
[02:42.76] I wish you didn't have to move away, but that sort of thing comes
[02:45.30] When your identity shifts from being Mum and Imogen
[02:47.32] To having my stage name in front when you talk to anyone
[02:50.72] My mind's all in a rut
[02:51.76] I'm unsure if it will stop
[02:53.32] If you reach out and think that I'm ignoring you, I'm not
[02:56.26] I'm just lost in my head
[02:57.20] Wish I could pause the world and then
[02:58.69] I'd talk it out with you and say, "Mum, I'm here again with"
[03:01.86] Regrets
[03:02.78] I'm not saying it's all in my head
[03:05.39] But I can't help thinking what's next
[03:08.05] When tomorrow's all we got left
[03:10.74] Confessing regrets
[03:13.34] Why's there distance when we're right here?
[03:15.94] Is the anger just proof we care?
[03:18.74] A love in war's not fair
[03:21.68] Confessing regrets
[03:34.14] Regrets
[03:44.51] Regrets
[03:46.77]
