Regrets

Regrets

I moved the glass to my lips took a sip and sighed

Why does it feel like our life's on a Slip 'N Slide?

Kids they add stress work ain't working the best

But that ain't the explanation why this love is a mess

I guess priorities are prioritised over time

And the only moments we spend are sleeping side by side

Morning breaks same old nags and complaints

I'm just trying to drink my coffee if we engage then we'll be late

I push it down to avoid a situation

But all it does is come out in the public places

Can't be as open when they recognise our faces

If they think it's heated I guess that's an understatement

But it used to be alive be electric burning bright

There's a spark left in the embers find some gasoline tonight

Shut the world down put the past behind

See the mountain got so far to climb

Is all that's left for you and I

Regrets

I'm not saying it's all in my head

But I can't help thinking "What's next?"

When tomorrow is all we got left

Confessing regrets

Why's there distance when we're right here?

Is the anger just proof we care?

A love in war is not fair

Confessing regrets

You're too young to understand that daddy's coming home

Every time I leave the house you think I'm forever gone

Guess it's from the hundred calls goodnights on the telephone

See this tour I got to get it done but why though?

Always said I'd pause work as soon as you came

Without structure I just slipped into depression again

This is just one of the things that I could never explain

Each and every day rolling the dice forever caught in the game

Still uprooting you both until the sickness started

Missed appointments ripped apart

Aimed to be the best dad here but missed the mark

Breaking both you and your sister's heart and your mother's too

I see the wood for the trees cause there's no other truth

I gotta stop putting work so far in front of you

'Cause there is so much more love that a man can lose

Trying to get back what I've lost sitting here and all I've got is

Regrets

I'm not saying it's all in my head

But I can't help thinking "What's next?"

When tomorrow is all we got left

Confessing regrets

Why's there distance when we're right here?

Is the anger just proof we care?

A love in war's not fair

Confessing regrets

Three generations of women in my life they keep me stood

I know that I don't keep in touch with your mum as much as I should

I know that you got your battles the same as me

DNA in us we feel so much shame in us
