Getting to that midway point
And it feels like there's only one way to look
Back the way you came
Going through your life pretending
It's a scripted movie with a happy ending
Soul opera that I'm defending
Suspect individuals that I'm befriending
Irresponsible like "Look at what you made me do"
Crazy women with a nickel and I'm crazy too
Rapper living like an old school jazz musician
Had afflictions that you couldn't shake, that's addiction
Isolated 'til I find the mind annihilated
Then design the greatest rhymes and I write for ages
Analyze a life in stages, quite dangerous
When you know what you're about and it's outrageous
You're now famous, couldn't give a shit
Give me money and a cold beer, little spliff
Just a little one though, I got work to do
Sorry you're hurting baby, just know I'm hurting too
I know I bring out the worst in you
Trying to balance the professional and personal
On the borderline, not always right
Nah, I get it wrong all the time, pour the wine
Raise a glass and we face the past
Everybody got a cliché, a platitude to say for last
So you say "Cheers, here's to life with no regrets"
I disagree, see regrets how I learn best
Yeah I'm looking back
Whether good or bad
Yeah I'm looking back
Looking back
Whether good or bad
But there's no such thing 'cause everyone is both
And regrets are the best, I got loads
Keep your visions of your Mr. Perfect
I'd love to meet him, if you find him I hope it was worth it
Skipped the service, left the church to watch a rap battle
Who knew the power of words could get you that rattled?
Seek the truth, it's the only thing that seems to move me
And probably the phrase "brutal honesty"
Is a fallacy 'cause really only lies are brutal
You can make up what you like but the eyes are truthful
All behind the pupils, you can find it there
And I might be a prick but at least I'm aware
And I'm working on it, oh look he's in a state
Still I turn a profit, give me a flipping break
See this isn't a scheme, I just fight fear
Me I'm living the dream and a nightmare
And that's life there, day by day
No black and white there, all shades of grey
Life's a game or a trifle but can't be idle
Crave fame or a title, it's hard to like you
And my list of regrets is longer than the Bible
With just as many lessons in it, I'll give you an eyeful
Yeah I'm looking back
Whether good or bad
Yeah I'm looking back
Looking back
Whether good or bad
But there's no such thing 'cause everyone is both
And regrets are the best, I got loads
See that there's only one way to look
Back the way you came
