This is one of my few songs which I've tuned properly (and even have background music sorted out)...

It's also one of my favorites...

It's about how we(I)'d be willing to take a bullet for the ones we(I) love...

An Ounce of Regret:

'My heart's beating fast

My palms were sweating

My muscles were tensing up

My eyes were welling up

'Oh no! What's gonna happen now?

Are you gonna get hurt??

No, no, no don't die

You've got to stay safe' I thought

So I stepped up front

And took all the blame

You insisted it was your fault

And told me to step back (back, back)

But I didn't listen to you

And now here I am

Though I'm now broken

I don't feel an ounce of regret

They didn't believe me

They believed you were at fault

They told me to step aside

My brain told my legs to move aside

But my heart told them

'No,no,no,no,no' and

My heart won over

And I didn't move

So I raised my hands

In front of you

You told me to move

But I stayed put (put,put)

I didn't listen to you

And now here I am

Though I'm now broken

I don't feel an ounce of regret

So they shot me,oh, So they shot me down

But I stood up,oh, But I stood up straight

And they went do-o-own, And they went down,down,down

And then I fell,oh, And then I fell with pride

So they shot me,oh, So they shot me down

But I stood up,oh, But I stood up straight

And they went do-o-own, And they went down,down,down

And then I fell,oh, And then I fell with pride (with pride, with pride)

I didn't listen to you

And now here I am

Though I'm now broken

I don't feel an ounce of regret

No,no,no, No-oh

No,no,no, No-oh

No, I don't feel

Not even one ounce of regret'
