REGRET

I said that I’m sorry
But words on deaf ears
Really don’t matter
After all of these years.

I hurt you …. I know it
How can I explain?
The heartache …. the sorrow
I know …. I’m to blame.

To say that I loved you
Sounds like a lie
Cause if I did
Why say goodbye?

Careless and selfish
So damn immature
You were so steadfast
Always so sure.

But I was a player
I was a fool
I should have tried harder
Should’a stayed there with you.

I’m paying the price
Everyday ….. all the time
I live with regret
You’ll never be mine.

You severed the ties
I deserved it …. I know
It’s my fault for leaving
For letting you go.
