I regret every night I chose the bottle over you I regret every promise I made and never came through I wasn't the father you needed, I know that's true But I changed, I got sober and you still withdrew I got on my knees, I beg for another chance You didn't even look back, you didn't even glance I regret it all Every sin and every scar But you're still my child, and you still went too far Pay for my own, every single day But you left your father and you chose to stay away I was wrong I know it on every mistake But you walking away was your choice My faith I sing when it matters I got on my knees, you never look back, you did what you please I bled to make it right, I showed up and tried You still won't call me, you still won't come by Sitting in this house with the weight of my past But you made your choice and you made it fast I fixed what I broke, but you kept the door shut You call yourself hurt, but you twist every cut I was wrong I carry it still But you left your father You always will You use my past like a weapon every day You hide behind it just to justify your way I regret what I did, but I need you to see Choosing the stone is on you, not me I pay my price I serve every single day I know what I was, I know what I caused I know every in-between that we lost But I'm tired, I'm running out of days You're holding on I never stop loving you for all of my wrong You stop loving me back You move right along I would have cried to you on broken hands and knees But you wouldn't even open the door for me If I regret it all, every failure I had I regret even more, you stop coming to call I pay for my past I paid every day But you're still my child, and you still chose to stay away I was broken I came back around You left your father without making a sound I regret all You gave up on me That's on you where you are
