Regrets

Regrets Hurt turns round corners, to catch you by surprise It's slippery and devious and it's often built from lies Hurt grows inside you to punish you with fears Then breaks loose from the surface falling down as stinging tears Pain rips into you, it cuts you with its blade It twists and plunges deeper still 'till it knows that you're afraid Pain feeds within hurt to chew on every tear (***as in rip***) It brings suffering to life you can't hide it anywhere When will I learn... learn to forgive and forget To throw aside all these worries, To move on from these regrets When will the sun shine, to brighten lonely days Tell me, will it shine tomorrow So I forget my yesterdays? Scars build inside you, they choke away your cries Your screams are silenced in your throat turned into soft muffled sighs Scars are invisible but you feel every one They're a legacy of storms and fights never over and done When will I learn... learn to forgive and forget To throw aside all these worries, To move on from these regrets When will the sun shine, to brighten lonely days Tell me, will it shine tomorrow So I forget my yesterdays? Oh, I need to learn... to forgive Then I need to learn... to forget And learn to live And lose regrets When will I learn... learn to forgive and forget To throw aside all these worries, To move on from these regrets When will the sun shine, to brighten lonely days Tell me, will it shine tomorrow So I forget my yesterdays?
