[Verse 1]
Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not enstranged
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...
[Chorus]
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
[Verse 2]
I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to hate but that's
All you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live
[Chorus]
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
(We've been told you stay up late)
I know they're still talking
(You're far too short to carry weight)
The demons in your head
(Return the videos they're late)
If I could just stop hating you
(Goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for us instead
[Bridge]
Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast
[Chorus]
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
[Outro]
Everything I wanted to be
Every time I walked away
Everytime you told me to leave
I just wanted to stay
Every time you looked at me and
Everytime you smiled
I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often I sit down and think of you for a while
Then it passes me by and I think of someone else instead
I guess the love we once had is
Officially dead
Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not enstranged
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...
[Chorus]
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
[Verse 2]
I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to hate but that's
All you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live
[Chorus]
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
(We've been told you stay up late)
I know they're still talking
(You're far too short to carry weight)
The demons in your head
(Return the videos they're late)
If I could just stop hating you
(Goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for us instead
