No Regrets Lyrics
I know your leavin's too long, overdue
For far too long
I've had nothin' new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes
I watched your plane
Fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange
To walk away, alone
No regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry, again
Say, 'Goodbye' again
The hours that were yours
Echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share
I now keep alone
I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinkin' you were gone
Felt so strange
To lie awake alone
No regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry, again
Say 'Goodbye', again
Our friends have tried
To turn my nights to day
Strange faces in your place
Can't keep the ghosts away
Just beyond the darkest hour
Just behind the dawn
Still feels so strange
To lead my life alone
I've no regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry, again
Say, 'Goodbye', again.
For far too long
I've had nothin' new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes
I watched your plane
Fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange
To walk away, alone
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry, again
Say, 'Goodbye' again
Echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share
I now keep alone
Not thinkin' you were gone
Felt so strange
To lie awake alone
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry, again
Say 'Goodbye', again
To turn my nights to day
Strange faces in your place
Can't keep the ghosts away
Just behind the dawn
Still feels so strange
To lead my life alone
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry, again
Say, 'Goodbye', again.
This is tough breakup of a long relationship. It's hard to imagine "no regrets" though...
This is somebody who knew the woman was going to leave him, that she was no longer in love with him. Judging by the lyrics, he knew he had nothing else to offer her. He knew it was coming anyway. I sense sarcasm in the part of “I don’t want you back”, more because he knows she is the one who just leave him again not the other way around. Like my mom and dad always taught me and my brothers, grass isn’t always greener. I definitely have learned my lesson on that one and have found a better captain for my ship.
