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.
