Regret

At first it was light and at first we were gold At first we both thought we would never grow old Convinced we were destined to love and forget Before all went dark and and we learned to regret We fell out of a love that we thought was a hole I lost who I was and found you growing cold The things that you told me stopped making me smile It turned out that forever was only a while We thought we would fly but we couldn’t hold on We couldn’t remember the sounds to our songs Now I lie alone in a bed that’s too cold Reminiscing on memories that have gotten too old I should never have left but it’s too late to speak You were all that I wanted and what I thought I’d need But if I did return there would only be pain Where the past is the present I cannot remain I’ve been wiping off the glass with a dirty rag Hoping it’ll clean but it just starts to scratch Should have wished on the stars but we didn’t know how For we thought we were different and refused to bow But we learned as we sat in your old rusty car That we couldn’t drown sorrows in a reservoir So I sit here in silence with no need to cry I look at my scars but I’m holding a knife
