No matter how hard you try You can't change the past You can't say "If only I'd done that differently..." You didn't! Trust has been lost "If I could tell the future..." You can't! Lives have been taken "I'd have surely gone to visit her..." You didn't! Mistakes have been made "If I could do it over..." You can't! Hearts have been broken "How did I know it was my last chance?" You didn't! Pain has been suffered You can't change that Don't try No ifs No buts Do it right the first time Move on with your life
