I Don't Know Regrets
Choices laid and voices paid lip service worth Rolls Royce’s plate
And everywhere I went today someone offered up something to say
On my behalf, how I behave
Are you master? Should I be slave?
Are you the life? Am I the grave?
How the hell can I live my life this way?
That’s not an option that I want to try
To be the bee, with you as the hive
For me to see the world through your eyes
I’d rather climb a tower and dive
Onto a windshield just like those bugs
Or swim in sand dunes without nose plugs
I operate my life like a doctor
In the moment and with no scrubs
Some decisions though that I made
Weren’t the best that I could’ve made
But it was either I go or stay
And the opportunity knocked with the pay
So if you want to hate me that’s fine
That won’t make or break me in time
As long as I’ve got my ducks in line
Late bills won’t overflow on my mind
Though I loved you more than I could explain
And did my best to be your best mayne
I can’t forget you always kept blame
Reserved for me like some plane checks aimed
At my sunshine, so I blessed the rains
When clouds rolled in, the strain of stress came
To snowball me like winter X-Games
Are you less vain? I hope yes dame
No second thoughts over what’s been lost
That’s the price happiness costs
No looking back on roads never traveled
Like mysteries by now unraveled
What I went through back then is buried
Regretting the past means future worries
No fear of what I can’t hope to change
It was meant to happen so I don’t complain
This world spins and it’s always one-way
If I were God, I’d make Monday Sunday
I’m not so I’ll stay out on the on runway
Til the reaper man tells me to come play
To show me all the cool lives I’ve lead
How in all of them I wound up dead
I’ll really have only one regret
If I don’t use my last breath to laugh at death
