Alejandro Reynaga - Regrets

[Verse 1]
Regrets - got a lot of those
Some of them I'm uncomfortable to expose
Thinkin' to myself I'm a no good criminal
Like I should pay penance just off principle
Wastin' minutes on the clock - watch the digits go
Been a menace to my heart and some others close
I love my sister Jess, but I'll have you know
There's somethin' there to address in-between us both
Did some shit I regret, now I'm feelin' lost
Wish that I could forget - I recollect all
Wanna reconnect, but don't know how to start
I think that she understands - maybe not
I live with myself and everything I've wrought
cnd remember the shelter of what I've got
Can't be disheveled by my own thoughts
I'm more level headed when I sober up

[Verse 2]
My soon wife to be, I love her dearly
I wonder how she tolerates bein' near me
cll the things I say that I don't mean
cll the ways I press and don't reconvene
I'm causin' all this stress when you're my queen
Makin' me depressed how I act obscene
You come and correct me when I'm demeaning
You always forgive me like I'm worth redeeming
I love you - never forget that
I'll stand by your side through every setback
Command and provide like a man who's unmatched
I know it's tough, but we can manage any rough patch
This verse ain't enough for the hurt
You deserve all the best even at my worst
I love you to death even if I curse
I hate this regret I feel in my words

[Sample]
This the number one rule for your set
In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regret

[Verse 3]
That's how it goes in a dark world
Gotta have a good dose to make the mind swirl
Forget who I am and everything I've done
Sometimes I think it'd be easier just to run
My father came and went - he chose the drugs
Left his family in the dust, in the Texas sun
Did a lot of thinkin' when the dirt was done
I wonder what it takes to let go of your son
If he stayed long enough, who would I become?
The same type of man that my father was?
Make the same mistakes, and take the plunge
Dig the same hole deeper that he dug
Would we have stayed a family, the four of us?
I can't even imagine that kinda life much
You know what he said when we met up?
It was like the mirror starin' back at him close up
