For you, is regret more about what you did
Or more about what you didn't do?
The things you failed to say or the moves you didn't make
The people you let go and the chances you didn't take
Regret is a heavy burden, a weight that bears down
A constant reminder of the things we cannot undo
A nagging voice that echoes in our heads
A haunting presence that won't leave us alone, won't be led
Regret is both a curse and a blessing
A blessing because it reminds us we're human
A curse because it can paralyze us, hold us back
Make us fear the unknown, the unfamiliar track
For some, regret is a distant memory
A faded image of something that might have been
For others, it's a constant companion
A shadow that follows wherever they've been
For those who live with regret, it's a lonely road
A journey without a destination, without a plan
They're always wandering, searching for a way back
To make things right, to fix what's been put out of whack
They replay the past like a movie on repeat
They scrutinize every action, every misdeed
They analyze every word they never said
Every gesture they should have made, every rock they left unturned ahead
But here's the truth about regret, my friend
It's never too late to make amends
To say the words you never could
To do the things you never thought you would
You can't change the past, that's a given
But you can change the course of your life, how you're livin'
You can choose to let regret weigh you down
Or you can choose to rise above it, turn it around
Regret is just a feeling, a state of mind
It's not something that defines you, not something you're assigned
It's a natural part of the human condition
But it doesn't have to be your only mission
So when you catch yourself drowning in regret
Take a deep breath, and start to reset
Focus on what you can control, on what you can change
And don't let regret hold you back, don't let it derange
For you, regret might be about what you did
Or more about what you didn't do
But at the end of the day, it's up to you
To decide whether it's a weight you'll carry, or something you'll renew.
