The one Thing I don’t regret

(Verse 1)
I made mistakes I still can’t say out loud,
Carried guilt like it was who I am now.
I ran headfirst into things that burned,
Thought I had to hurt just to learn.
I broke my own rules more than once,
Chased approval, chased becoming someone.
There are years I barely recognize,
Whole versions of me I left behind.
I stayed quiet when I should’ve spoken,
Stayed too long where I was already broken.
I trusted words that didn’t stay,
Gave my heart to people who walked away.
And sometimes late when I can’t sleep,
I replay it all like a movie scene—
Every wrong turn, every regret,
Every night I wish I could reset.

(Pre-Chorus)
If I could go back, I’d change a lot,
I’d be braver, I’d love softer, I’d stop the clock.
But every time I look behind,
There’s one thing I refuse to rewrite.

(Chorus)
This is the one thing I don’t regret,
’Cause I remember all the good times we had.
Laughing till morning, nowhere to be,
Just you right there, right next to me.
I’ve lost so much, I’ll admit that,
But I’d do it all again for that.
If everything else was a mess—
This is the one thing I don’t regret.

(Verse 2)
You knew my fears before I said a word,
Knew when to listen, knew when it hurt.
Every time the world fell in on me,
You never asked what I could be.
You didn’t judge, you didn’t fix,
You just stayed there in the mess with me.
When I was quiet, you waited it out,
When I was loud, you let me shout.
When I thought I was too much to take,
You never once walked away.

(Pre-Chorus 2)
I didn’t realize it at the time,
But that was love in its purest kind.
Not perfect, not loud, not dressed up nice—
Just showing up every single time.

(Chorus)
This is the one thing I don’t regret,
’Cause I remember all the good times we had.
Every late night, every stupid plan,
Every “we’ll figure it out” we said.
I’ve made peace with the things I lost,
With every bridge I couldn’t cross.
If loving you was my best bet—
This is the one thing I don’t regret.

(Bridge)
You saw me fall apart in pieces,
Still treated me like I was whole.
And I don’t think I ever told you
How much that saved my soul.
Maybe growing up meant leaving town,
Maybe survival meant shutting down.
But losing you wasn’t the price I meant to pay,
It just happened on the way.
I don’t regret the laughter, not a bit,
Not the chaos, not the nights we didn’t sleep.
I regret that I didn’t say enough,
How grateful I was for that kind of love.
If I could sit you down right now,
I’d say “you mattered more than you know.”
You were the constant when I was lost,
And I carry that—no matter the cost.

Ohohohohohohoooooooooooooooooooooooo

(Chorus)
This is the one thing I don’t regret,
Even now, with everything I’ve said.
I’d relive every wrong step I made
If it led me back to those days.
I don’t miss who I used to be,
But I miss who I was when you were with me.
If my past is something I accept—
This is the one thing I don’t regret.

If my past is something I accept—
This is the one thing I don’t regret.
