I moved the glass to my lips, took a sip and sighed
Why does it feel like our lives on a Slip N Slide?
Kids, they add stress, work ain t workin the best
But that ain t the explanation why this love is a mess
I guess priorities are prioritised over time
And the only moments we spend are sleepin side by side
Mornin breaks, same old nags and complaints
I m just tryna drink my coffee
if we engage, then we ll be late
I push it down to avoid a situation
But all it does is come out in the public places
Can t be as open when they recognise our faces
If they think it s heated, I guess that s an understatement
But it used to be alive, be electric, burnin bright
There s a spark left in the embers
find some gasoline tonight
Shut the world down, put the past behind
See the mountain, got so far to climb
Is all that s left for you and I

Regrets
I m not saying it s all in my head
But I can t help thinking what s next
When tomorrow is all we got left
Confessing regrets
Why s there distance when we re right here?
Is the anger just proof we care?
A love in was is not fair
Confessing regrets

You re too young to understand that daddy s comin home
Every time I leave the house, you think I m forever gone
Guess it s from the hundred calls
goodnights on the telephone
See this tour, I ve gotta get it done, but why though?
Always said I d pause work as soon as you came
Without structure, I just slipped into depression again
This is just one of the things that I could never explain
Each and every day rollin the dice
forever caught in the game
Still uprootin you both until the sickness started
Missed appointments, ripped apart
Aimed to be the best dad here, but missed the mark
Breakin both you and your sister s heart
and your mother s too
I see the wood for the trees cause there s no other truth
I gotta stop puttin work so far in front of you
Cause there is so much more love that a man can lose
Tryna get back what I ve lost
sittin here and all I ve got is

Regrets
I m not saying it s all in my head

A love in was is not fair
Confessing regrets

Three generations of women in my life, they keep me stood
They know that I don t keep in touch
with your mum as much as I should
I know that you got your battles, the same as me
DNA in us, we feel so much shame in us
what we offer ain t enough
These thoughts get dangerous, one way that the pain can stop
Hope and pray that both my little girls
they ain t the same as us
Missed out on so much, I really need to make it up
Take you on a plane and just, you know
I wish there was more one-on-one
and you didn t share your son
I wish you didn t have to move away
but that sorta thing comes
When your identity shifts from bein mum and Imogen
To havin my stage name in front when you talk to anyone
My mind s all in a rut, I m unsure if it will stop
If you reach out and think that I m ignorin you, I m not
I m just lost in my head, wish I could pause
the world and then
I ll talk it out with you and say: Mum, I m here again with

Regrets
