Regrets by Karen Shofner
Demo sung by Jay Speight

Verse 1

There are people I should have loved
Sweet as angels from above
But I never asked them to dance
Living in a lonely shell
With No love stories to tell
Always thought there’d be a second chance

Chorus

Was it my fear of flying
or did my wings just need untying
I don’t know why I didn’t climb that wall
Pockets of regret for memories I never met
Oh I wish I hadn’t been afraid to fall

Verse 2

There are words in my head
I wish I would have said
But I was silent as a street corner mime
I love you’s locked inside
All withered up and died
Now buried in the backyard of my mind

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

Easy roads I have traveled
Not one scar from the gravel
I Steered clear of the ones too steep to climb
I took wrong turns instead
while the right roads closed ahead
I must have been driving my life blind

Chorus

Was it my fear of flying
or did my wings just need untying
I don’t know why I didn’t climb that wall
Pockets of regret for memories I never met
Oh I wish I hadn’t been afraid to fall
If only I had tried to climb that wall
Cause looking back-it wasn’t really all that tall
