Best Regrets

I keep my head low as I enter the square
Don't know what to think or who might be there
Been scared for so long. So long it's not true
But I rue this day and I rue you too

But I knew you in your time when alarm-bells filled our minds
And what was happening was happening with ten quarters and five dimes
Now there's not much left to say. It's just excuses for today
So let's just save the list for the optimists
Someone said they're on their way

So some guy once wrote betrayal takes two
I guess I outta know since I think that's true
I'm sorry that you, so strange for so long
Can not reanimate what is already gone

But we could talk right through the night
Under a pitch-black moonless sky
And what was possible was possible with no one asking why
And I loved you when you ran. Round in circles round with plans
Without permission or suspicions. You even tolerated slang
