The Things I Regret

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Ohh ohh ohh oh-o-oh

Ohh ohh ohh oh-o-oh

There's a hole in my pocket

Where my dreams fell through

From a side walk in the city to the avenue

There's a leak in my dam ‘bout the size of a pin

And I can't quite remember where the water's getting in

But when you're wearing on your sleeve

All the things you regret

You can only remember what you want to forget

You feel it tugging at your heart

Like the stars overhead

‘Til you rest your bones on the killing bed

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

When I doubt you

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

When I doubt you

With the weight of the world resting on my back

And the road on which I've travelled is as long as it is cracked

But I keep pressing forward with my feet to the ground

For a heart that is broken makes a beautiful sound

But when you're wearing on your sleeve

All the things you regret

You can only remember what you want to forget

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

When I doubt you

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

When I doubt you

Ohh ohh ohh oh-o-oh

Ohh ohh ohh oh-o-oh

I walk through my days like a ghost in a dream

But the field carries on and my past follows me

It's hard moving on from the things you done wrong

When they play in your head like an old fashioned song

But when you're wearing on your sleeve

All the things you regret

You can only remember what you want to forget

Lonely miles

Without you

Lonely miles

Without you

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

When I doubt you

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

When I doubt you

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

Let them roll over me

Let the ground keep my faults

Let the water be my home

Let the dust hold my soul

Like a holy rolling stone
