Regret

As I drift away Far away from you, I feel all alone in a crowded room, Thinking to myself "There's no escape from this Fear Regret Loneliness." Visions of love and hate A collage behind my eyes Remnants of dying laughter Echoes of silent cries I wish I didn't know now that I never knew then Flashback Memories punish me again. Sometimes I remember all the pain that I have seen Sometimes I wonder what might have been Visions of love and hate A collage behind my eyes Remnants of dying laughter Echoes of silent cries And sometimes I despair At who I've become I have to come to terms With what I've done The bittersweet taste of fate We can't outrun the past Destined to find an answer A strength I never lost I know there is a way, My future is not set, For the tide has turned But still I never learned to live without regret
