Regret

I don't live my life with no regrets

I take it day by day

Those regrets have made me learn

Albeit the hard way

Like the day I wished I could eat my words

The time I made you cry

The day I spoke so out of turn

It made you say goodbye

Staying quiet was never my thing

It probably never will be

I've learned that that is just part of life

Well, part of life with me

I've learned that this,

Is not always the best way

But I learned in the past too

That its awful to have nothing to say

When the words dry up

So does the love

Saying nothing in the past

Was a great learning curve

I guess all it is

I really want to say

Is sorry for talking

And being this way

But if I was quiet

You wouldn't love me

You'd love the great person

I once tried to be

I will keep on regretting

And learning from this

If there was no apology

There'd be no kiss
