Regret

The past comes so near and
You see it again, you feel it again.
You’ve got to go back to the time
You knew so well, you need it so.

Losing power, they stare at you
Such a chance, they say.
And in such a dream
You fall to their charm

But you clench your fists and he asks, he asks
Do you wanna throw your life away?
Let it all just waste away?
Do you wanna let yourself down?
Let yourself fall to the ground?

‘Cause you know you’re never gonna get out,
And you’re always gonna think
Why did I?
Why did I?

Even with their voices telling you
No, you won’t stop now.
Even with the chains trapping you,
You won’t stop now.

And there’s still another chance,
But you wouldn’t know.
There’s one way out,
But you shut it all out.

So you hold your breath and he asks, he asks
Do you wanna throw your life away?
Let it all just waste away?
Do you wanna let yourself down?
Let yourself fall to the ground?

‘Cause you know you’re never gonna get out,
And you’re always gonna think
Why did I?
Why did I?

And it’s the pain that surrounds your lungs,
While you decide what to choose.
It’s the regret which lingers in the air,
‘Cause you’ve thrown everything away.

Now you fall to the floor and you weep,
‘Cause you’ve all failed again.
You fall to your knees and scream,
You’ll never stop now.

You closed your eyes and he asked, he asked
Do you wanna throw your life away?
Let it all just waste away?
Do you wanna let yourself down?
Let yourself fall to the ground?

‘Cause you knew you'd never get out,
And now you’re always gonna think
Why did I?
Why did I?
Why did I?
