The Right Regrets Lyrics - Bombshell - Smash Cast

A writer has the empty page 

Where he can set the scene 

He puts the actors on the stage 

Or on the movie screen 

The characters all say the words 

The writer wants to hear 

And then, my friend 

A happy end 

But when the writer steps outside 

That room where he is king 

He can't control when lives collide 

Or what the lovers sing 

And so he hides behind his words 

The one place he belongs 

And in black and white 

He can rewrite the wrongs 

Where he can find the strength to say 

What those he loves should hear 

And just erase mistakes she's made 

Then make them disappear 

Where he can change the plot 

So he's a hero, not a louse 

And when the curtain falls 

There's not a dry eye in the house 

A writer hopes to leave behind 

A work no one forgets 

And when he writes, "the end" 

To find he has the right regrets 

A writer has the empty page 

Where he can use his pen 

To mend his heart 

And try to start 

Again.
