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 what
I never knew then
Flashback
Memories punish me once 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
Destined to find an answer
A strength I never lost
I know there is a way
My future is not set
For the tide has turned
But still I never learned to live
Without regret
