[Verse 1] What's the point in big regrets As useless as belief in gods A pointless exercise for sure But we have them all the same Why didn't those so close Tell you what they thought Why did they keep it to themselves When you feel the need to blame [Pause] [Chorus] I wish you'd whispered in my ear and told me just to stop! Think about what'll come to pass If you carry on this path I wish you'd whispered in my ear and told me just to stop! Think about what'll come to pass If you carry on this path... If you carry on this path... [Verse 2] It's no one's fault except your own That bed you made is yours to lie Hindsight's always blind you know In the choices that you made Time doesn't heal it just hides The scars beneath another skin The foolishness of youth betrayed by the ones who should have saved [Pause] [Chorus] I wish you'd whispered in my ear and told me just to stop! Think about what'll come to pass If you carry on this path I wish you'd whispered in my ear and told me just to stop! Think about what'll come to pass If you carry on this path... If you carry on this path... [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] No point wishing you'd turned left instead of right that winter night? And set your sail to different winds and gone where you should have gone No time machine to save you know No fast rewind to press and wait You forged that path across the land Forgot to stand where the light shone [Pause] [Chorus] I wish you'd whispered in my ear and told me just to stop! Think about what'll come to pass If you carry on this path I wish you'd whispered in my ear and told me just to stop! Think about what'll come to pass If you carry on this path... If you carry on this path... [Verse 4] My platitudes are pointless Like pissing in the wind I'm wearing boots of concrete as the tide rolls in Drowning in what could have beens Falling from the sky The chute was left inside the plane Time reflections in my eye [Outro] If you carry on this path... If you carry on this path... If you carry on this path... If you carry on this path... [End]
