Under Regret Lyrics - Singles - Notarthomas Jamie

------------------------ 

Scribbled ideas and thoughts 

On match covers holding the lessons life taught me 

Gum wrappers, napkins and notebooks all filled 

With phrases and rhymes for the castle I'll build 

Sentenced and locked from the pen my heart spilled 

Into boxes of words, all perfectly preserved and frozen 

Under regret 

For years now I have saved them 

Untouched, diminished, betrayed them, buried under regret 

All the hopes of a child, and that humble, naive smile 

And the love that I will never forget is still waiting 

Under regret 

Thousands of lyrics for songs 

What pictures are worth but not one of them drawn 

Recorded accounts of my trials and doubts 

Pondering, finally I figured it out 

This time I will dive in and pull myself out 

Of these boxes of words 

Unsung and still unheard all buried 

Under regret 

For years now I have saved them, starring still afraid 

Of digging... digging... digging... 

Into the hopes of a child, and that humble naive smile 

And the love that I will never forget is still waiting 

Under regret
