The weight of regret and longing

The weight of regret and longing

Is a burden that I bear

It weighs heavy on my heart

And leaves me feeling bare

I long for what I've lost

For opportunities missed

For the love that slipped away

And the things I never kissed

The weight of regret and longing

Is a shadow on my soul

It follows me wherever I go

And never lets me feel whole

But I won't let it define me

I won't let it bring me down

I'll keep moving forward

And try to turn it around

For the weight of regret and longing

Is a part of who I am

But it doesn't have to control me

I'll find a way to stand

I'll find a way to forgive

And let go of the past

I'll find a way to love again

And make it all worth the task

The weight of regret and longing

Is a heavy load to carry

But I won't let it break me

I'll find a way to marry

The weight of regret and longing

To hope and to love

I'll find a way to move on

And rise up above
