[Verse 1]

Tell me a story

Where we all change

And we'd live our lives together

And not estranged

[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 now, they only hurt

Sing me a love song (Sing me a love song)

Drop me a line (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 (When they all stare)

We looked good for each other (Some people said)

Felt things were going wrong when

You didn't like my mother (T'was all in your head)

[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 now, 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 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

(Goodbye) But they tell me I'm doing fine

[Outro]

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 me by and I think of someone else instead

I guess the love we once had is officially

Dead
