"NO REGRETS"

Life is a gift they always say
I guess it is when everything always goes your way
But if you take a walk down the other side
Wanna go for a ride, let's go for a ride 
If life's so great, then why are so many fighting to survive?
 
I've walked a thousand roads, been in the dark, trapped in the cold
I've done it all, seen everything, but none of it meant one damn thing
Cause seasons change, and soldiers die 
While their wife's at home and their babies cry 
All we've got is now, and it's important to remember that nothing lasts forever
So live your life 
 
He stormed out the door after she said that she hated him 
She didn't mean a word; little did she know she'd never see him again
He lost his life that night and now his wife will never forgive herself 
She'd sell her soul, live in eternal hell if she could take back those words 
 
I've walked a thousand roads, walked in the sun, trekked through the snow
I've done it all, seen everything, but none of it meant one damn thing
Cause seasons change, love is lost 
You won the battle, was it worth the cost?  
All we've got is now, and it's important to remember, nothing lasts forever 
And life's too short for regrets 
 
I'd like to think that when I'm old and dying 
That I won't be sittin' there wishin' "If only I'd tried";
Nothings impossible, that is the reason 
I believe that anything can change, just like the seasons
 
Ever since he turned two one, he's always getting drunk and actin' dumb  
He grabbed his keys, hopped in his car, headed back to the liquor store
He ran a light, saw a flash of white, plowed into the side of their car
Only one survived, he killed three in their family of four.  
 
I've walked a thousand roads, we don't always get where we tried to go
I've done it all, seen everything, but none of it meant one damn thing
Cause seasons change, but some things, they are set in stone 
But we won't understand until we're fully grown 
All we've got is now, and it's important to remember
Nothing lasts forever, except regret
