I wish that I could take back 
all of the things that I've done to hurt you!  
I didn't mean to be so cruel!  
And yet I know that I've been selfish  
and, at times, a just fool! 
  
And every thoughtless thing I've done  
keeps comin' back to haunt me  
because you took each one to heart! 
And as I realize it's my fault  
we've grown worlds apart . . . 
  
I have regrets, regrets,  
for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self  
and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets, 
for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive 
I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets 
  
If I could right the wrong I've done  
maybe I could stop your leavin' 
but there's so much I'm guilty of  
and it's too late to say I'm sorry  
'cause bein' sorry is not enough!  
  
'Cause with each angry word that I've said  
your love for me was dyin',  
each word left a lasting scar 
and right now I feel so helpless,  
wishin' I could change the way things are . . . 
  
I have regrets, regrets,  
for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self  
and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets, 
for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive 
I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets . . .
