Regrets
Yesterdays Hero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She didn't want it that way but that night it couldn't stay.
Can she make up, make up her mind.
Can she do it, do it in time.
He's knocking at the door
but she will just ignore the way that He could change her life.
The next day she's on her feet looking for another guy to defeat.
It's not a game, to her it is.
Can she make up, make up her mind.
Can she do it, do it in time.
He's knocking at the door
but she will just ignore the way that He could change her life.
Can she make up, make up her mind.
Can she do it, do it in time.
Will she ever settle down, put her feet back on the ground.
