"Regrets"

[00:00.02] Regrets

[00:10.64] Regrets

[00:11.18] I moved the glass to my lips, took a sip and sighed

[00:13.83] Why does it feel like our lives on a Slip 'N Slide?

[00:16.50] Kids, they add stress, work ain't workin' the best

[00:18.92] But that ain't the explanation why this love is a mess

[00:21.31] I guess priorities are prioritised over time

[00:24.49] And the only moments we spend are sleepin' side by side

[00:27.42] Mornin' breaks, same old nags and complaints

[00:29.28] I'm just tryna drink my coffee, if we engage, then we'll be late

[00:32.46] I push it down to avoid a situation

[00:35.39] But all it does is come out in the public places

[00:38.05] Can't be as open when they recognize our faces

[00:40.43] If they think it's heated, I guess that's an understatement

[00:42.82] But it used to be alive, be electric, burnin' bright

[00:45.48] There's a spark left in the embers, find some gasoline tonight

[00:48.14] Shut the world down, put the past behind

[00:50.26] See the mountain, got so far to climb

[00:51.90] Is all that's left for you and I

[00:53.23] Regrets

[00:54.56] I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

[00:57.23] But I can't help thinkin' what's next

[00:59.88] When tomorrow is all we got left

[01:02.54] Confessing regrets

[01:05.46] Why's there distance when we're right here?

[01:08.12] Is the anger just proof we care?

[01:10.78] And love and war is not fair

[01:13.44] Confessing regrets

[01:14.82] You're too young to understand that daddy's comin' home

[01:17.22] Every time I leave the house, you think I'm forever gone

[01:19.86] Guess it's from the hundred calls, goodnights on the telephone

[01:22.52] See this tour, I've gotta get it done, but why though?

[01:25.18] Always said I'd pause work as soon as you came

[01:27.57] Without structure, I just slipped into depression again

[01:29.96] This is just one of the things that I could never explain

[01:32.61] Each and every day rollin' the dice, forever caught in the game

[01:36.08] Still uprootin' you both until the sickness started

[01:38.74] Missed appointments, ripped apart

[01:40.60] Aimed to be the best dad here, but missed the mark

[01:43.25] Breakin' both you and your sister's heart, and your mother's too

[01:46.71] I see the wood for the trees 'cause there's no other truth

[01:49.39] I gotta stop puttin' work so far in front of you

[01:52.05] 'Cause there is so much more love that a man can lose

[01:54.71] Tryna get back what I've lost, sittin' here and all I've got is

[01:57.36] Regrets

[01:58.69] I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

[02:01.34] But I can't help thinkin' what's next

[02:04.00] When tomorrow is all we got left

[02:06.66] Confessing regrets

[02:09.31] Why's there distance when we're right here?

[02:11.97] Is the anger just proof we care?

[02:14.63] And love and war is not fair

[02:17.28] Confessing regrets

[02:18.61] Three generations of women in my life, they keep me stood

[02:21.27] They know that I don't keep in touch with your mum as much as I should

[02:23.92] I know that you got your battles, the same as me

[02:26.32] DNA in us, we feel so much shame in us, what we offer ain't enough

[02:29.77] These thoughts get dangerous, one way that the pain can stop

[02:32.42] Hope and pray that both my little girls, they ain't the same as us

[02:35.08] Missed out on so much, I really need to make it up

[02:37.77] Take you on a plane and just, you know

[02:39.89] I wish there was more one-on-one, and you didn't share your son

[02:42.55] I wish you didn't have to move away, but that sorta thing comes

[02:45.47] When your identity shifts from bein' mum and Imogen

[02:47.86] To havin' my stage name in front when you talk to anyone

[02:50.52] My mind's all in a rut, I'm unsure if it will stop

[02:53.44] If you reach out and think that I'm ignorin' you, I'm not

[02:56.09] I'm just lost in my head, wish I could pause the world and then

[02:58.75] I'll talk it out with you and say, "Mum, I'm here again with"

[03:01.41] Regrets

[03:02.74] I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

[03:05.39] But I can't help thinkin' what's next
