The Things I Regret Songtext

von Brandi Carlile

Ohhhhh ohhhh ohhhh oh-o-oh
Ohhhhh ohhhh ohhhh oh-o-oh

There's a hole in my pocket where my dreams fell through

From the sidewalk in the city to the avenue

There's a leak in my dam about the size of a pen and I can't quite remember where the water's getting in

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 'till 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 in 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

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

Ohhhhh ohhhh ohhhh oh-o-oh
Ohhhhh ohhhh ohhhh oh-o-oh

I'll 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 things you've done wrong when they play in your head like an old fashioned song

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 bones
Let the water be my home
Let the dust on my soul
Like the holy rollin' stone.
