I'll Never Regret

lyric

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 19 days ago 1 min read

Verse 1]
I’ve seen a  heaviness fill a room
From just a single word that slips away
It takes a second to undo the truth
By letting anger choose the words we say

[Verse 2]
Silence can sometimes feel unkind
Like a door that's locked and closed
But I’m learning how to hold my tongue
To leave the space open for our love to continue to grow

[Pre-Chorus]
So I tone my voice down
Before I turn my feelings loose
There are things I could say right now
That I would never want to say to you

[Chorus]
I will never regret a word I didn’t say
When the heat was high and pride was in the way
So baby, if I go quiet, it’s a form of respect
I’m protecting what we have from what I might regret
I was never good at sorting it out
With a storm in my chest and a mind full of doubt
I won’t let anger ignite a flame
I will never regret a word I didn’t say

[Verse 3]
When the dust settles down, I’ll come back honest
With no heavy weapons on my breath
I’d rather build on what we’ve always promised
Then leave us broken over what I said

[Pre-Chorus]

Let the night cool down the blame
Let tomorrow bring a steadier truth
I want to tell you how I feel
Without making a war out of me and you

[Chorus]
I will never regret a word I didn’t say
When the heat was high and pride was in the way
So baby, if I go quiet, it’s a form of respect
I’m protecting what we have from what I might regret
I was never good at sorting it out
With a storm in my chest and a mind full of doubt
I won’t let anger ignite a flame
I will never regret a word I didn’t say

[Outro]
I will never regret a word I didn’t say
But I’ll tell you I love you when the smoke clears away
I will never regret a word I didn’t say
