Regrets: I Got a Ton

“Regrets” is dedicated to all broken-hearted lovers
and all my Alzheimer’s and care-giving friends

Regrets

Regrets? I got a ton.
All the fights I never won,
All the love I never lent,
And all the anger that I spent,
All in vain, and what a strain.

Ups and downs all along the way,
The Debts that I forgot to pay,
And all the times I turned my back
Because I saw it as attack.

Do I regret? Yes I regret.
And if you say you don’t, you lie.
Regrets, regrets, I got a ton;
Fix them up or hope to die.

I didn’t mean to hurt you, you know,
Snub you, insult you reject you,
Or mean to be misunderstood.
Yes I know, that’s what they all have said,
I just got all caught up in life.
Complications, of course, arose,
And all in all, I do suppose,
My intentions were always good.

Regrets, regrets, I got a ton.
Fix them up or love is done.
Regrets, regrets, I got a ton.
Fix them up or love is done.

Regrets: A Second Chance

The thing about regrets is that
You can learn from them right off the bat;
You can pick yourself back up again
And you can learn to make amends.
You can patch things up and start again
’Cause trust is far too valuable to end.

Without regrets you never learn,,
Love is something that you earn
A friend is far too dear to lose,
But you can lose if you accuse.
This bond is far too dear to end,
It’s best to learn jut how to bend
Like the willow in the wind
Instead of having to rescind
And rue your future days.

You must first forgive yourself,
Live your life in better ways,
Try to live a life to never give
You any cause to have regrets.
But know that if you fail perchance,
Regrets will offer you a second chance.

Take your chance and run with it,
You may never get a second second chance.
