Everyone says "Do whatever makes you happy" Don't mention the cost of it though You do not know the price until your choices Come collect and tell you what you owe In moments you don't realize Consequences of what you do Only after it's too late You can see what would have been best for you Some decisions too expensive Until you get the bill you won't know By then you can't go back and choose Different directions to go So bear in mind that every action And mistake is a tattoo No matter how costly our regrets Every one we can never undo

Costly Choices
Everyone says "Do whatever makes you happy" Don't mention the cost of it though You do not know the price until your choices Come collect and tell you what you owe In moments you don't realize Consequences of what you do Only after it's too late You can see what would have been best for you Some decisions too expensive Until you get the bill you won't know By then you can't go back and choose Different directions to go So bear in mind that every action And mistake is a tattoo No matter how costly our regrets Every one we can never undo
