Anathema - REGRET lyrics

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 what

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 os 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.
