What have I done

Verse 1           

I took a chance, I risked it all

I tossed the dice, and then I fell

And all the horses, and all the men

Cannot put back, my life again

 

Chorus

What have I done now

Where do I go

Reached for happiness

How was I to know

What have I done now

What have I done now

 

Verse 2

No going back, the die’s been cast

There’s no rewind, it’s all so fast

And not a tear, can ever undo

The pain I’ve caused, the pain you caused too

 

Chorus

What have I done now

Where do I go

Reached for happiness

How was I to know

What have I done now

My God, how life has changed

Tossed away, I tossed it all away

What have I done now

What have I done now

There’s just no turning back

Oh no,

What have I done now

 

Verse 3

If I could just go back, if I could just rewind

If I could only undo, turn back the hands of time

I’d take it all back now, pretend I never met you

Wipe you from my mind, my heart turn from you

 

Chorus

What have I done now

Where do I go

Reached for happiness

God, how was I to know

What have I done now

Oh, how my life has changed

Tossed away, I threw it all away

What have I done now

What have I done now

There’s just no turning back

Oh no

What have I done now

What have I done?

 He said, "Why should I tarry?"

And smiled with tranquil eye;

"In destinies sad or merry,

True men can but try."

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
