Regrets

Regrets

[Verse 1]

I moved the glass to my lips, took a sip and sighed

Why does it feel like our lives on a Slip 'N Slide?

Kids, they add stress, work ain't workin' the best

But that ain't the explanation why this love is a mess

I guess priorities are prioritised over time

And the only moments we spend are sleepin' side by side

Mornin' breaks, same old nags and complaints

I'm just tryna drink my coffee, if we engage, then we'll be late

I push it down to avoid a situation

But all it does is come out in the public places

Can't be as open when they recognise our faces

If they think it's heated, I guess that's an understatement

But it used to be alive, be electric, burnin' bright

There's a spark left in the embers, find some gasoline tonight

Shut the world down, put the past behind

See the mountain, got so far to climb

Is all that's left for you and I

[Chorus]

Regrets

I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

But I can't help thinkin' what's next

When tomorrow is all we got left

Confessing regrets

Why's there distance when we're right here?

Is the anger just proof we care?

And love and war is not fair

Confessing regrets

[Verse 2]

You're too young to understand that daddy's comin' home

Every time I leave the house, you think I'm forever gone

Guess it's from the hundred calls, goodnights on the telephone

See this tour, I've gotta get it done, but why though?

Always said I'd pause work as soon as you came

Without structure, I just slipped into depression again

This is just one of the things that I could never explain

Each and every day rollin' the dice, forever caught in the game

Still uprootin' you both until the sickness started

Missed appointments, ripped apart

Aimed to be the best dad here, but missed the mark

Breakin' both you and your sister's heart, and your mother's too

I see the wood for the trees 'cause there's no other truth

I gotta stop puttin' work so far in front of you

'Cause there is so much more love that a man can lose

Tryna get back what I've lost, sittin' here and all I've got is

[Chorus]

Regrets

I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

But I can't help thinkin' what's next

When tomorrow is all we got left

Confessing regrets

Why's there distance when we're right here?

Is the anger just proof we care?

And love and war is not fair

Confessing regrets

[Verse 3]

Three generations of women in my life, they keep me stood

They know that I don't keep in touch with your mum as much as I should

I know that you got your battles, the same as me

DNA in us, we feel so much shame in us, what we offer ain't enough

These thoughts get dangerous, one way that the pain can stop

Hope and pray that both my little girls, they ain't the same as us

Missed out on so much, I really need to make it up

Take you on a plane and just, you know

I wish there was more one-on-one, and you didn't share your son

I wish you didn't have to move away, but that sorta thing comes

When your identity shifts from bein' mum and Imogen

To havin' my stage name in front when you talk to anyone

My mind's all in a rut, I'm unsure if it will stop

If you reach out and think that I'm ignorin' you, I'm not

I'm just lost in my head, wish I could pause the world and then

I'll talk it out with you and say, "Mum, I'm here again with"

[Chorus]

Regrets

I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

But I can't help thinkin' what's next

When tomorrow is all we got left

Confessing regrets

Why's there distance when we're right here?

Is the anger just proof we care?

And love and war is not fair

Confessing regrets

[Outro]
