[Verse] The hardest part of getting old Is stacking up regrets, And fearing you’ll run out of time Before you pay your debts. One thing we all learn As our days count to the sky, Is rarely do we feel laments From things we choose to try. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t regret One honest word I’ve said. I just wish so many more Weren’t left here in my head. I don’t regret The drinks I had with friends. Just the ones I've poured alone Af-ter the evening ends. [Chorus] I don’t regret The paths I couldn’t take. Those were never choices I could ever really make. I don’t regret The times I played and lost. Because I know the chance to win Will always have its cost. [Verse] The greatest part of growing old, Is stacking up regrets, The lessons from our choices That our minds cannot forget. They help make choosing easier, Cuz we know from our past, The choices likely doomed to fail And those we’re sure will last. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t regret The goals that I’ve pursued. But I miss all the friendships Where such distance has accrued. I don't regret The chapters I have closed, Just stories left unfinished With the end already known. [Chorus] I don’t regret The paths I couldn’t take. Those were never choices I could ever really make. I don’t regret The times I played and lost. Because I know the chance to win Will always have its cost. So don’t regret the trying, Do the best that you can do. Regrets are just the wisdom Your bad choices give to you. [Bridge] If regrets could wander, If regrets could run away, We might make yester-day’s mistake Again right here today. But they are down to linger. Yeah, regrets are here to stay. And the more I visit my regrets, I get why it’s that way. [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] I don’t regret, The love I’ve tried to share. Even when it turns out I’m the only one who cares. I don’t regret The tears I’ve had to cry. Just the times I tried too hard To keep them from my eyes. [Chorus] I don’t regret The paths I couldn’t take. Those were never choices I could ever really make. I don’t regret The times I played and lost. Because I know the chance to win Will always have its cost. So don’t regret the trying, Do the best that you can do! Regrets are just the wisdom Your bad choices give to you. [Chorus] I don’t regret! The paths I couldn’t take! Those were never choices I could ever really make. I don’t regret! The times I played and lost! Because I know the chance to win Will always have its cost! So don’t regret the trying, Do the best that you can do! Regrets are just the wisdom Your bad choices give to you. Yeah … Regrets are just the wisdom Your bad choices give to you. Regrets are just the wisdom Your bad choices give to you. [End song] [End song]
