Regret - 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
