lyrics

So beautiful and I cheated on her over and over again
Because I wanted to be a man
And I didn't want her to be a woman.
A smart, free person who was something
My fucking mind then.
That fucking mind, so stupid
What would I think? Did I think for what I'd done?

She was my wife for twenty-three years
And I went behind her over and over
Fucking asshole that I am
Fucking asshole that I am

And I'd go out and I'd fuck
And I'd come home and get in her bed and say,
"I love you" "I love you" "I love you"

This is the regret that you make
This is the regret that you make
and the something you take
and the blah blah blah
and the something, something
Gimme a cigarette

Mistakes like this you don't make
Sometimes you make some and okay
Not okay, sometimes, you make other ones
Know that you should do better
I loved Lily and I cheated on her
She was my wife for twenty-three years
And I have a son and she has cancer
And I'm not there and he's forced to take care
A little kid, and I'm not there
And she does die
I loved her so, I loved her so

And she knew what I did
She knew all the fucking stupid things I'd done
But the love was stronger than anything you can think of
The goddamn regret

And I'll die, now I'll die
And I'll tell you what, the biggest regret of my life
I let my love go

This is the regret that you make
This is the regret that you make
and the something you take
and the blah blah blah
and the something, something
Gimme a cigarette

What did I do? I'm 65 years old
And I'm ashamed, a million years ago
The fucking regret and guilt, these things
Don't let anyone ever say to you
You shouldn't regret anything
Don't do that, don't do that

You regret what you fucking want, use that
Use that regret for anything, any way you want
You can use it, okay? Oh, god
This is a long way to go with no punch

A little moral story, and I say, Love, love, love
This fucking life, it's so fucking hard
So long, and life ain't short
It's long, it’s long goddammit
Goddamn

This is the regret that you make
This is the regret that you make
and the something you take
and the blah blah blah
and the something, something.
Gimme a cigarette
(What did I do? What did I do? What did I do? What did I do?)
(Phil, Phil, help me, please.)
