The Butterfly Effect

I wish the butterfly effect Could ever work for me, I'd like to see the life I wrecked, The person I could be. I'd be much wiser, change my mind And play the magic chess, I'd live the days I left behind Another way, I guess. I would erase my past mistakes... Or make them even worse? I'd just forget how much it aches And never feel remorse. What if..? What could it all have been? The answer is unknown. I see the pictures on the screen My swollen mind has drawn. I'm suffocated by regret, This life's not truly mine, I'd fall asleep and just forget, Dissolve it all in wine. I'd write a letter to the past, Replay the fatal game. But it's too late... I'll live at last, I'll get my luck and fame.
