Regrets
Intensity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've made my mistakes now haven't we all
But I've learned from the wrongs that I've done
And I'll do my best not to reapeat them 'cause mistakes only bring me regrets
I regret
Regret, but I can't forget, 'cause I have the scars to remind me of the self-destructive past I left behind
Rebuild, self-confidence and knowledge
Found out my own truth
Now I'll decide, when there's a choice to make in my life
"For every lie I unlearn, I learn something new" (Ani Difranco).
I've made my mistakes now haven't we all
But I've learned from the wrongs that I've done




And I'll do my best not to reapeat them 'cause mistakes only bring me regrets
No more mistakes, to bring me regrets
