Stuff I Said

I had my fun, now it's done

And so is my Big City

I wanted to try somethin' new

Now all I have is self-pity

I made mistakes, I caused heartbreaks

And now I'm filled with dread

'Cause by far the worst was my outburst

That ding-dang stuff I said

If you're a dad, it feels so bad

When your son tells you you're crummy

I told him, "No", like in that tableau

So much it drove him from me

If I had the chance, I'd change my stance

And show my heart instead

But that ship has sailed, I big-time failed

With that ding-dang stuff I said

Now that I know I hurt you

Feels like a part of me is lost

But I made my choices

Now I gotta live with the cost

These were to be memories

We'd smile as we recall

But with no family there to share them with

Why remember them at all?

I really goofed, my world's gone poof

And I'm the one to blame

Oh, Dad was right (I ain't too bright)

I think I might (our pointless fight)

Be forever filled with shame (I can see I caused him pain)

Now that I know I hurt you

Feels like a part of me is lost (part of me is lost, part of me is lost)

But I made my choices (now I gotta live)

Now I gotta live with the cost

But it's too late (oh what a fate)

To set things straight (it isn't great)

That dream is nearly dead

If I could redo one mistake-aroo

It would be the catastrophe

Of those silly screams I didn't mean

That ding-dang stuff

That ding-dang stuff

That awful stuff I said
