Me Arrepiento

I regret the time I've wasted
Of giving a piece of myself to those people I loved
Because in the end they showed they were my enemies
And I regret, not having dared
Not having had the balls to say what I thought
Or felt when I felt hurt
Now I regret the things I didn't do
Of all the words I never told you
Of not having left to live that life I wanted
Yes, I regret, not being the one who steps
Of having been that stagnant water that fears
And clings with strong fear to the feet of that damn reef
I regret and I'll only be happy
When I can ask forgiveness from that girl
For being a jerk with her when we left school
I regret not being like the wind
Of having thought so much about tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
And by thinking like that missing out on millions of moments
I regret not having called you
Every time I thought about giving up
And going for you to start doing all those things we talked about alone
I regret daily for failing you
For the nights you cried for everything I do
Waiting for a hug and a kiss and not being by your side
It makes me angry to know that I've never taken risks
I've been watching life go by
Instead of taking advantage of the present
I learned that now is a gift
I regret all my anger
Of the fucking anxiety I went through
Arguing with everyone for nothing
Fighting to be right has killed me
I regret kisses I didn't give
People I haven't met because of being with you
And living with the doubt of how it would have been if
If I had taken a risk, if I had jumped
If I had made another decision
If I hadn't been afraid of losing what I have
What would I have gained? (What would I have gained?)
I regret not having acted
On more than one occasion when I saw with my own eyes any injustice
Not having enjoyed my family more
I regret being a slave to gold, sex, and envy
Of answering you with hate when you tried to give me a caress
I regret doing everything that I'm supposed to do
Instead of what I want
What good are wings? If I can't use them
I get shot if I fly
I regret spending my life waiting for news from heaven
What good is praying?
Life won't treat me well just because I'm good
I regret everything
But I know it's too late to undo that knot
I know I've spent my time anchored in the past dreaming of that future
I know this feeling stays with me
No matter if I'm right or if I doubt
Because whatever I do or decide
I'll surely regret it later

I'm not going to stand still
Life is meant to be embraced
Let failure serve me for something
Let my dream not remain in words
Sometimes being happy is a leap
It's the mind that stagnates us
I'm going to be the one I always wanted
And stop carrying the past on my back

I'm not going to hide what I feel
There's no time for more attempts
Regretting serves me no purpose
There's no room left for suffering
I'll do it until I'm out of breath
And I know there are reasons to be happy
I promise I'll fight to get rid of the poison that burns inside

I'm not going to stand still
Life is meant to be embraced
Let failure serve me for something
Let my dream not remain in words
Sometimes being happy is a leap
It's the mind that stagnates us
I'm going to be the one I always wanted
And stop carrying the past on my back

I'm not going to hide what I feel
There's no time for more attempts
Regretting serves me no purpose
There's no room left for suffering
I'll do it until I'm out of breath
And I know there are reasons to be happy
I promise I'll fight to get rid of the poison that burns inside
