The Regrets Of My Life

The Regrets of My Life

I want to scream and shout at you,

I want to stamp my feet,

I want to take a tantrum,

Like a child without a treat,

Can you make me see?

I want to know the answer,

Why did you leave me?

Why did you have to go?

Why did you have to die?

I guess I'll never know.

Why didn't I save you?

Why was I so weak?

You were just a child,

Though you certainly weren't meek,

Why didn't I save you from the pain?

Why didn't I stop her?

From hurting you again?

All I can is sorry,

That's a feeble thing to say,

It's all I have to give you,

Is my broken heart today.

Why didn't I stop him?

Why was I so blind?

Why didn't I stop him?

I know I could have tried,

Why didn't I see?

That the pain he gave to you,

Was the pain he gave to me?

Why didn't I see you?

The child that you were?

Why didn't I do

Something about your lost love?

Those painful years,

You had to live,

So bad that you forget,

Those are the worst years,

The ones that I regret.
