The Regret......

 

All the things that I have said
All the things that I have done
All the things I have ever known
Gone now like the sun
I knew the flame of passion
Would carry me away
Turn me into darkness again
At the end of each new day
Each time there is remembrance
Each time a fleeting thought
Each time a hazy sadness
Each time that it is not
How would it be so different
How would it be right now
How would fate lay its course
Another way, somehow
All the things once promised
All the dreams once made
All of these are gone
And with the time they fade
Of all the thing that have happened
Of all the words once said
The things that haunt me most
And return to me from the dead
Are all the things I never did
They are what I will not forget
The things that I had never done
Are the things that I regret
NOT THE THINGS I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
NOT THE THINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN
I REGRET WHAT NEVER WAS
AND THE THINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN

 

(I WILL NEVER KNOW IF I NEVER TRY)
