**Songs about regret or guilt**

1. Hurt - Johnny Cash
2. Hearts - Marty Balin
3. Cats in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
4. Best of Intentions - Travis Tritt
5. Mama Tried - Merle Haggard
6. No More Tears - Ozzy Osbourne

On the surface, it sounds like a breakup song, but I think it’s what a stalker sang to his victim after he killed her.
