Changes
I got no regrets, no,
but that's not to say
there ain't nothing I wouldn't change.
I would change the way
I just stood there,
and took his screams,
and his lies and his threats.
I would change the way
I reacted, so passive
just letting it happen.
I would change the way
I didn't get out sooner.
I would change the way
I acted like it didn't bother me.
I would change the way
that I felt about myself
at that point in time.
But thank God
wishes don't come true,
because if anything,
anything at all had changed in my past,
I wouldn't be the same today.
