Regret

(Album: Bruises - 2015)

I'm on an island lost at sea
Waiting for the future
Safe from the vague and from the lies
Holding on to something lost I…

Stalk my thoughts
Peel back the seam
I do so with no humor left
The truth of my nature flashes by
And at last I feel the cause
And I wanna, and I wanna
And I wanna take it all back

Give me hell!
Give me hate!
Just as long as I'm screaming!

I'm holding on to something
I'm holding on to this regret
Because, I'm holding on to something
I'm holding on to this regret
The past is set, yeah
And all you give is all you get
So live on in regret

The mist recedes, my focus clears
Each memory cuts deeper
I want to go back in time
Go make amends
But those tears have fallen down

I can't take back those hollow years
Like poison they must seep through my soul
I can't reclaim abandoned friends
Let it haunt me to the end
The end…

Give me hell!
Give me hate!
Just as long as I'm screaming!

I'm holding on to something
I'm holding on to this regret
Because, I'm holding on to something
I'm holding on to this regret
The past is set, yeah
And all you give is all you get
So live on in regret

No one will know
No one can know
The things I'd do
To be back there with you
No one will know
No one can know
That I'm all alone
With nothing to show

If I could
I'd beg on bended knee
I'd show them I had changed
I'd show you what you mean to me

It's just a flick of the switch and I'm back to the start.
Flick of the switch and I'm back to the start!
No more regrets
No more shame
No more restless nights
And endless nightmares in pain!

I'm falling in to something
I'm falling in to this regret
Because, I'm falling in to something
I'm falling in to this regret
I'm holding on…

I'm holding on to something
I'm holding on to this regret
Because, I'm holding on to something
I'm holding on to this regret
The past is set, yeah
And all you give is all you get
So live on in regret
