I wish that I could take back

all of the things that I've done to hurt you!

I didn't mean to be so cruel!

And yet I know that I've been selfish

and, at times, a just fool!



And every thoughtless thing I've done

keeps comin' back to haunt me

because you took each one to heart!

And as I realize it's my fault

we've grown worlds apart . . .



I have regrets, regrets,

for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self

and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets,

for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive

I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets



If I could right the wrong I've done

maybe I could stop your leavin'

but there's so much I'm guilty of

and it's too late to say I'm sorry

'cause bein' sorry is not enough!



'Cause with each angry word that I've said

your love for me was dyin',

each word left a lasting scar

and right now I feel so helpless,

wishin' I could change the way things are . . .



I have regrets, regrets,

for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self

and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets,

for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive

I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets . . .
