Bonnie “Prince” Billy
You Can Regret What You Have Done
[Verse 1]
You can regret what you have done
You can regret what you have done
What you've not done can seem more fun
But what you've done can't be undone
It can be buried by new deeds
But will soak through each time you bleed
And so betray what you have done
You can't claim to be a holy son
[Verse 2]
You are a freak, you are a beast
What was the peak became the least
And, crippled, you must own your place
Your unexceptional own space
You can regret what you have done
Those undetained are lucky ones
For what we do when we are tried
Is likely let our good selves die
[Verse 3]
And then from bottom we rebuild
Use every bone that was not killed
To make an unbeatable one
Already mauled and crushed and gone
And now the excess chipped away
The new creation left to say
"Some kids may fear not having fun
But you'll regret what you have done
Oh, you'll regret what you have done
You'll regret what you have done"
