No Regrets - XXV

Tell me a story

Where we all change

And we'd live our lives together

And not estranged

I didn't lose my mind

It was mine to give away

Couldn't stay to watch me cry

You didn't have the time

So I softly slip away—

No regrets

They don't work

No regrets now

They only hurt

Sing me a love song

(Sing me a love song)

Drop me a line

(Drop me a line)

Suppose it's just a point of view

But they tell me I'm doing fine

(I...)

I know from the outside

(When they all stared)

We looked good for each other

(So people said)

Felt things were going wrong when

(I...)

You didn't like my mother

(It was all in your head)

I don't want to hate

But that's all you've left me with

A bitter aftertaste

And a fantasy of how we all could live

No regrets

They don't work

No regrets now

They only hurt

(We've been told you stay up late)

I know they're still talking

(You're too short to carry weight)

The demons in your head

(Return the videos they're late)

If I could just stop hating you (goodbye)

I'd feel sorry for us instead

Remember the photographs, insane!

The one where we all laugh, so lame!

We were having the time of our lives

Well thank you—

It was a real blast!

No regrets

They don't work

No regrets now

They only hurt

(We've been told you stay up late)

Write me a love song

(You're far too short to carry weight)

Drop me a line

(Return the videos they're late)

Suppose it's just a point of view (goodbye)

But they tell me I'm doing fine

Everything I wanted to be

Every time I walked away

Every time you told me to leave

I just wanted to stay

Every time you looked at me

And every time you smiled

I felt so vacant

You treat me like a child

I loved the way we used to laugh

I loved the way we used to smile

Often I sit down

And think of you for a while

And then it passes by me

I think of someone else instead

Guess the love we once had

Is officially—

Dead!
