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
