== Lyricshttps://genius.com/S-reidy-ode-to-my-regret-lyrics ==
 I think I never been scared
 I ain’t broke, I ain’t need to be repaired
 I think I never been afraid
 And yet I still keep feeling things
 
 This is the ode to your regret
 Inside yourself an ivory tower leaking out cement
 It was a valiant effort, so pat your back you should proud
 But when you list off all the things you’ve done I wouldn’t say this out loud
 I wouldn’t let it slide
 I wouldn’t make a peep
 And if you have to go outside I would maybe take the backstreets
 It ain’t personal, you just have ruined all our lives
 And if you find it hard to sleep at night, and toss and turn from side to side that’s fine
 That’s just the onus of your actions
 You should thought before you walked into me on the bathroom
 What is wrong with you?
 Nobody taught you how to knock?
 If you do that junk again I’ll drop kick you down three blocks
 Concuss you with a seesaw, in front of your meemaw
 You don’t deserve to share this space, or even show your face
 (But I do)
 That’s right I’ve never been afraid
 I fought two lions and won
 And I don’t carry a gun
 And I don’t have any flaws
 I met Obama in college
 I’m never rapping off beat
 You see what I mean?
 But that’s just the difference
 Perceiving what you see inside as life a vain existence
 And I mean that’s definition
 And I mean you literally are vain but that’s still your decision
 And to change your mind or save your life is simply not my business
 I’ve met a thousand people with the spirit that you keep inside
 And if you you think you found the light by never letting go, I guess that can suffice
 You might also like
 
 I think I never been scared
 I ain’t broke, I ain’t need to be repaired
 I think I never been afraid
 And yet I still keep feeling things
