Regret is the second sting
Regret is a hateful thing
It's when you left and should've stayed
It's the one that you let get away.
Regret is the picture in your mind
That keeps you awake at night.
It's a name or a face;
The one thing you can't change.
It's when you can't fix the mistake,
Can't rewind, can't erase.
It's hurting yourself or someone else
And living with the story it tells.
Regret is knowing your life just changed
And not being sure you can live with the pain.
Sometimes the past is too far gone;
Sometimes it's getting up and moving on.
