Anathema — Regret

(D. Cavanagh)
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
