No Regrets
Ignite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's in my head
And nothing changes what's been done if I regret not being there,
when the time has come,
when it's too late

No regrets, no time to change
A selfish choice can take its toll,
a sacrifice might make the day
No regrets, it's time to change
Could I have done more,
it's in my head

I hold my breath,
it's not too late and I know that if I had another chance I'd make it up to them,
I'd make it count
Built up but nothing changes what's been done if I regret not being there,
when the time has gone,
when it's too late

No regrets, it's time to change
A selfish choice can take its toll,
a sacrifice might make the day
No regrets, it's time to change
Could I have done more,
it's in my head
It's in my head (3x)

A selfish choice can take
Take its toll,
a sacrifice,
I'll try
Try, instead I hold my breath,
it's not
Not too late,
I hope it's all just in
Just in my head

No regrets, it's time to change (2x)
A selfish choice can take its toll,
a sacrifice,
I'll try instead,




I hold my breath,
it's not too late and hope it's all just in my head
