Regret Lyrics - Alternative 4 - Anathema

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
