How Many Regrets

How many times must we throw ourselves into the fire?
How many times must we peel ourselves off of the ground?
How many times must I end it before it’s over?
How many regrets? How many regrets?

How many slaps on the hand before a child learns?
How many sleepless nights before my mind turns?
How many lines on my halls before I give in?
How many regrets? How many regrets?

How many times must I leave you before you leave me?
How many times must I find you hidden between the trees?
How many chains on my arms before I break free?
How many regrets? How many regrets?

How many doubts before declaring disbelief?
How many dark days before accepting a sweet relief?
I’ve taken myself, taken myself too seriously
How many regrets? How many regrets?
