Regret

Intro

Yeah

I know

I know, I know

Verse 1

I keep replaying every word I said

Like maybe if I shut my mouth you'd still be here instead

I had a thousand chances, fucked up every one

Now I'm staring at the damage like, "What have I done?"

I thought I'd have tomorrow, I was living for today

Now tomorrow feels like something that I threw away

I said I'd never change, then I changed into someone

I don't even recognize when I look at what I've become

And I know apologies don't fix shit

Can't take back the nights I made you feel like this

Can't rewind time, can't delete the past

Can't make a broken moment never happen

Pre-Chorus

If I could go back

I'd do everything different

But that's the worst part

There's no fucking rewind button

Chorus

Regret

It's the only thing I got left

All the words I should've said

All the things I should've done

Regret

Running circles in my head

Every "what if" never ends

And I can't outrun what I've become

I wish I knew then what I know right now

I wish I could've seen what I was throwing out

But wishing doesn't change shit

And knowing doesn't save it

I got everything I never wanted

And I fucking hate it

Verse 2

I remember little things that shouldn't matter

But they do

Like the way you used to talk to me

The way I talked to you

Funny how the smallest memories

Can hit the hardest

I spent so much time trying to win

I never noticed what I was losing

I could blame the circumstances

I could blame the timing

I could blame anybody

But the truth is I was driving

I made those decisions

I watched the consequences happen

Now I'm digging through the wreckage

Trying to find what I abandoned

And maybe I'm just scared

That this is who I really am

Someone who only understands

What they had once it's gone

Chorus

Regret

It's the only thing I got left

All the words I should've said

All the things I should've done

Regret

Running circles in my head

Every "what if" never ends

And I can't outrun what I've become

I wish I knew then what I know right now

I wish I could've seen what I was throwing out

But wishing doesn't change shit

And knowing doesn't save it

I got everything I never wanted

And I fucking hate it

Bridge

Maybe that's the lesson

Maybe that's the cost

You don't realize it's precious

Till you realize it's lost

I can't change yesterday

Can't make the clock go back

So I'll carry every mistake

Like a weight inside my chest

Not because I wanna suffer

Not because I wanna die

I just need to remember

Why I can't live that life

Outro

Yeah

I know now

Too late

But I know now

And maybe that's all I get

From all this regret

Knowing what I should've been

After I already left it behind
