Intro
[Am] [G] [F]..[G] regr([Am])ets regrets
[Am] i moved the glass to my lips,
took a sip and sighed
[G] why does it feel like our lives
on a slip ’n slide?
[F] kids, they add stress,
work ain’t workin’ the best
but [F]that ain’t the explanation
why this [G]love is a mess
i [Am]guess priorities
are prioritised over time
[G] and the only moments we spend
are sleepin’ side by side
[F] mornin’ breaks, same old nags
and complaints
i’m just [F]tryna drink my coffee,
if [G]we engage, then we’ll be late
[Am] i push it down to avoid a situa[G]tion
but all it does is come out
in the public pla[F]ces
can’t be as open when they recognise
our faces
[F] if they think it’s heated,
i guess [G]that’s an understatement
but it [Am]used to be alive,
be electric, burnin’ bright
there’s a [G]spark left in the embers,
find some gasoline tonight
shut the [F]world down, put the past behind
see the mountain, [F]got so far to climb
is all that’s [G]left for you and i
Chorus
re[Am]grets
i’m not sayin’ it’s all in my [G]head
but i can’t help thinkin’ what’s [F]next
when tomorrow is all we got [F]left
con[G]fessing re[Am]grets
why’s there distance
when we’re right [G]here?
is the anger just proof we [F]care?
and love and war is not [F]fair
con[G]fessing r([Am])egrets
you’re too [Am]young to understand
that daddy’s comin’ home
every time i [G]leave the house,
you think i’m forever gone
guess it’s from the [F]hundred calls,
goodnights on the telephone
see this [F]tour, i’ve gotta get it done,
but [G]why though?
always said i’d [Am]pause work
as soon as you came
without structure,
i just [G]slipped into depression again
this is just one of the [F]things
that i could never explain
each and every [F]day rollin’ the dice,
forever [G]caught in the game
still [Am]uprootin’ you both
until the sickness started
missed[G] appointments, ripped apart
aimed to be the best [F]dad here,
but missed the mark
breakin’ both you and your [F]sister’s heart,
and your [G]mother’s too
i see the [Am]wood for the trees
cause there’s no other truth
i gotta [G]stop puttin’ work
so far in front of you
cause there is [F]so much more love
that a man can lose
tryna [F]get back what i’ve lost,
sittin’ [G]here and all i’ve got is

three gene[Am]rations of women in my life,
they keep me stood
they know that [G]i don’t keep in touch
with your mum as much as i should
i know that [F]you got your battles,
the same as me
dna in us, we feel so much shame in us,
[G]what we offer ain’t enough
[Am]these thoughts get dangerous,
one way that the pain can stop
[G]hope and pray that both my little girls,
they ain’t the same as us
[F]missed out on so much,
i really need to make it up
take you on a plane and just,[G] you know
i wish there was[Am] more one on one,
and you didn’t share your son
i wish you [G]didn’t have to move away,
but that sorta thing comes
when your i[F]dentity shifts
from bein’ mum and imogen
to havin’ my stage name in front
when you [G]talk to anyone
my [Am]mind’s all in a rut,
i’m unsure if it will stop
if you [G]reach out and think that
i’m ignorin’ you, i’m not
i’m [F]just lost in my head,
wish i could pause the world and then
i’ll [F]talk it out with you
and say, “[G]mum, i’m here again with”
