Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not estranged
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
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
I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother
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
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
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
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
Everything I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Every time you told me to leave
I just wanted to stay
Every time you looked at me and
Every time 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 by me and I think of
Someone else instead
I guess the love we once had is
Officially dead
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not estranged
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
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
I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother
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
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
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
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Write me a love song

Every time you told me to leave

Every time you looked at me and
Every time you smiled

I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often I sit down and think of you

Officially dead

Personally, I can't help being touched by these lyrics, since that's the way I feel for a very especial friend-boyfriend that's been in my life for more than 5 years, how he suddenly changed his attitude towards me and how hard it is for me to look back at the good moments we had without feeling angry or sad at him: "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..."
That's how I feel today when I look at our pictures, I feel like everything ended up being phoney.
It's a love-hate feeling that I hope I can get rid of, because I don't want to hate but that's all he left me with. I hope I can forgive him and myself as well for the mistakes we both made that drew us apart.
The last chorus isn't right. It should be:
"No regrets, they don´t work
No regrets now, they only hurt
(We´ve been told you stay up late)
Write me a love song,
(You´re far too short to carry weight)
drop me a line
(Return the videos they´re late)
Suppose it´s just a point of view
But they tell me I´m doing fine"
I love how at the end the mood changes and he speaks his feelings and finishes on the note "dead."
- "Everything I wanted to be, every time I walked away
Every time you told me "Leave" I just wanted to stay
Every time you looked at me and every time 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. "
I'm glad they're reuniting for a song (??).
LOVE LOVE LOVE.
