There is no chance
Of winning back
The memories of old
The time has passed
The outcomes last
Our stories have been told

There is no chance
To change a thing
What's gone, that's gone for good
The things you do
The things you rue
Regrets of adulthood

There is no chance
Of taking back
The words you said to me
No chance for you
Although it's true
We weren't meant to be

With life you can't
Negotiate
You get back what you give
The child that passed
Has never asked
To be the one to live
