Song: You Only Regret (The Things That You Don t Do)
Band: Likely Lads
Album: Melrose Yard Demos
INTRO:
- - repeat
VERSE:
You both said things you shouldn t have,
And now she s getting in her cab,
You ve blown it once again,
Are you the one to blame?
Your stubborness has held you back,
Delusion faded out the facts,
The drink outspoke your voice,
She says it s your own choice,
PRE-CHORUS:
And the sentiment that echos through your mind
leaves you feeling so deprived
and there s no one there to help
and the irony has lost itself on you
cause you ve always told the truth
but now you re lying to youself,
CHORUS:
you only regret
the things that you don t do
they re hiding in your mind
you wont appriciate
the things so close to you
until they re out of sight
VERSE 2:
Remenisce on cosy early days,
When you were living in a daze,
Just floating through the weeks,
And showing off your teeth,
But now those smiles have become stale,
The rosy cheeks are turning pale,
There s no more going back,
You can t seal up the cracks
PRE-CHORUS:
And the sentiment that echos through your mind
leaves you feeling so deprived
and there s no one there to help
and the irony has lost itself on you
cause you ve always told the truth
but now you re lying to youself,
CHORUS:
you only regret
the things that you don t do
they re hiding in your mind
you wont appriciate
the things so close to you
until they re out of sight
