kenny marks - threshold of regret lyrics

on the edge of self+betrayal
she took a dive and told him
“you don’t understand”
then she cut him into pieces with one word
it was a pointed, rusty nail
a word used like a scalpel
in some careless hands
she told him, “this is less than you deserve”

and all along a child
is watching from the wings
listening to mom and dad
saying careless things
that they don’t mean for him to hear
but he’ll remember them for years
after all that he could take
he slammed the door so hard
it made the window crack
and he stepped across the threshold of regret
was it always his mistakes?
he started up the engine of his pontiac
and headed for the highway to forget

and all along a child
is watching from the wings
listening to mom and dad
saying careless things
that they don’t mean for him to hear
but he’ll remember them for years, yeah!

on the threshold of regret
coming home to memories
of the bad and good
looking through a broken piece of glass
will he remember or forget?
he pulls apart the window with a piece of wood
he repairs the broken glass
a twenty+year reminder of his childhood

every generation
is watching from the wings
listening to their mom and dad
saying careless things
that they don’t mean for them to hear
but they’ll remember them for years
every generation
is watching from the wings
listening to their mom and dad
saying careless things
that they don’t mean for them to hear
but they’ll remember them for years, hey!
