Regrets Quest 1

Verse 1

Girl, I don’t know where I went wrong
I’d give it all back for one more song
One more dance, one more chance
But there ain’t no road back from a broken romance

For the crimes of the heart, the debts we owe
The seeds we plant are the ones that grow
And now I’m standing in the shadow of
The woman I should’ve loved

Chorus

You gave and you gave and you gave and you gave
While I just took and walked away
I was blind, I was selfish
Thought love would always stay

Oh yes, I have regrets
They’re the scars I carry yet
Defined by them, I grow somehow
But I’d trade it all to hold you now

Verse 2

I had my issues, you had yours too
But somehow we made it through
Until the day the silence came
And neither one of us could say the same

I wish I’d said goodbye better
Wish I’d written one last letter
Wish I’d said “I love you” true
Instead of “I once loved you”

Chorus

You gave and you gave and you gave and you gave
While I just took and walked away
I was blind, I was selfish
Thought love would always stay

Oh yes, I have regrets
They’re the scars I carry yet
Defined by them, I grow somehow
But I’d trade it all to hold you now

Bridge

Why did I not give
When all I did was get?
Why did I not see
What I’d miss when you left?

The answers come too late at night
Like ghosts that never rest
And every lesson that I’ve learned
Was paid for by my regrets

Final Chorus

You gave and you gave and you gave and you gave
And I finally understand today
Love ain’t measured by the words we say
It’s what we do along the way

Goodbyes suck, hellos are hard
Life keeps dealing out the cards
And whether ready or not, we play

Well, welcome…
Welcome to tomorrow’s day

Welcome…
To tomorrow’s day.
