Well at least I tried

I've heard the slanderous whispers, the hate filled ridicule
Yet I choose to bite my tongue I will not play the fool
Place your judgment on my shoulders, I'll carry the burden
Be the first to cast your stone, he who is without sin

This life is far too short to have regrets
So I will
Refuse to let my past get the upper hand
So I live
Giving my all to seize the day
Don't look back
Stay on track
I choose to live this way
 [bad word] to the conclusion, it's best to live and learn
You don't know how hot the fire is until you have been burned
Been scorched a time or two, it's helped me learn my lesson
But your gossip is too loud, you can't hear my confessions

This life is far too short to have regrets
So I will
Refuse to let my past get the upper hand
So I live
Giving my all to seize the day
Don't look back
Stay on track
I choose to live this way

I chose to live (my life) this way
Live yours and I'll live mine
No regrets just lessons learned
Live yours, live yours
