Wouldn’t Change A Thing by Dan Bremnes Lyrics
I’ve been a million different places
And trust me the worst times I have tasted
But not a single day was wasted
(Yeah yeah) no no
I’ve got a bunch of different bruises
But that’s life you try to save it and you lose it
You know I never liked excuses
No no
I wouldn’t change a thing
No, not a thing
Cause some things were
And some weren’t meant to be
And that’s just the way things go
Until it’s history nobody knows
What could’ve been different
But I love this life I’m in
And I wouldn’t change a thing
I wouldn’t change a thing
I wouldn’t change a thing
You know I never thought I’d get here
Made a choice, took a road now it’s real clear
Shoulda woulda, no I can’t go there
And I’m not saying that it’s perfect
In fact the opposite more like it, but it’s worth it
Just tryna live like I’m on purpose, yeah yeah
I wouldn’t change a thing
No, not a thing
Cause some things were
And some weren’t meant to be
And that’s just the way things go
Until it’s history nobody knows
What could’ve been different
But I love this life I’m in
And I wouldn’t change a thing
I wouldn’t change a thing
I wouldn’t change a thing
All the glory and the pain
Everything put in its place
A beauty still remains
And it’s who I am today
I wouldn’t change a thing
No, not a thing
Cause some things were
And some weren’t meant to be
And that’s just the way things go
Until it’s history nobody knows
What could’ve been different
But I love this life I’m in
And I wouldn’t change a thing
I wouldn’t change a thing
I wouldn’t change a thing
