I don't wanna say 'regret'
I know regret is wrong
I just wanna say the last five years
were about four years too long

(repeat)

A mutual friend of ours
said you were waitin' for an apology
Now I don't know that much
but I heard that hell don't freeze.

chorus

I could have written a book
I could have learned french
I could have gone travelin' outta the state
I coulda worked my way off the bench

I don't wanna say 'regret'
i know it's a strong word to use
I just want to say it's a damn fine line
between protection and abuse

I hope you're not drinkin' again
I hope you've taken care of that debt
I hope wherever you are
that you finally got that red corvette

I know I wasn't good to you
but do you know you weren't good for me
I hope you find the man you want-
the man you tried to make me be

chorus
