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
