Let Regret and Pain be Precious
Fill in the gaps
In my life
I have relapsed
Due to strife
Where did you go?
How do you know
I was lost too?
All is true…
I’m in pain
I’m in vain
I cry these tears
I shed these fears
I flutter away
Today…today…
Shameless of yesterday
Tearless for tomorrow, I pray
I’m wondering if I could trust you
Let regret and pain be precious
I’m pondering about you always too
Let remorse and loneliness be gracious
I’m sorry I’ve let you down
But, I’m wearing this upside down frown
I smile away the suffering and begin to shout
I don’t know what you’re muttering about…
I’ve been trapped
Release me
My energy zapped
Set me free
Where did you end up at?
I was next to you and all that
I was in your arms
Deceived by your charms
I’m in pain
I’m in vain
I cry these tears
I shed these fears
I flutter away
Today…today…
Shameless of yesterday
Tearless for tomorrow, I pray
I’m wondering if I could trust you
Let regret and pain be precious
I’m pondering about you always too
Let remorse and loneliness be gracious
I’m sorry I’ve let you down
But, I’m wearing this upside down frown
I smile away the suffering and begin to shout
I don’t know what you’re muttering about…
Refrain from driving me insane
You stain me with your loving
Wish I knew then you didn’t care about my pain
Enough with your temporary loathing
I pray for your future to be blessed still
Fill in the gaps in your life, fulfill your thrill
I’m in pain
I’m in vain
I cry these tears
I shed these fears
I flutter away
Today…today…
Shameless of yesterday
Tearless for tomorrow, I pray
I’m wondering if I could trust you
Let regret and pain be precious
I’m pondering about you always too
Let remorse and loneliness be gracious
I’m sorry I’ve let you down
But, I’m wearing this upside down frown
I smile away the suffering and begin to shout
I don’t know what you’re muttering about…
I wish I knew what I know now
I’ve been miserable somehow
Now, I know why…
You gave up trying…
I want you to try
To live and stop your crying
Don’t speak…listen…
Let your eyes glisten
I’m in pain
I’m in vain
I cry these tears
I shed these fears
I flutter away
Today…today…
Shameless of yesterday
Tearless for tomorrow, I pray
I’m wondering if I could trust you
Let regret and pain be precious
I’m pondering about you always too
Let remorse and loneliness be gracious
I’m sorry I’ve let you down
But, I’m wearing this upside down frown
I smile away the suffering and begin to shout
I don’t know what you’re muttering about…
Let regret go
Reap what you sow
Let pain be precious
Be of a sobering conscience
I love you so
Wish you knew
I care though
I wonder if you still do…
I scared you away
I’m sorry, okay?
I need to hide
My broken pride
Deep inside
This tribulant tide
Ur not on my side
