Unraveling Regrets: A Poetic Farewell by 3 Exits to Hattiesburg
Lyrics
I’m sorry to let you down but I just can’t go on like this anymore
I can't continue in this manner any longer, and I apologize for disappointing you.
I hate to break your heart but I can’t hold mine together or find a cure
I regret causing you heartache, but I'm unable to keep my own emotions intact or find a solution.
I’m proud of the things we made and the times we had and I hope that they’ll survive
I take pride in our shared experiences and creations, hoping they endure despite our separation.
In my memories and on the screen
Our moments together exist vividly in my memories and through visual records.
We were larger than life
We appeared larger than life during our time together.
So from the smoke and from the ash
Despite remnants and remnants of destruction, I struggle to reconstruct what we once had.
I can’t piece together everything we had
It's challenging for me to recollect the entirety of our past.
And all the times we stayed up late
We spent many late nights together.
I never believed that I could hate
Previously, I couldn't fathom feeling hatred, but now I do.
This has been on my mind for way too long and there’s nothing that you could change
This issue has occupied my thoughts for an extended period, and there's no possibility for change.
I promise it’s not your fault it’s all on me and I’ll take all the blame
I absolve you from any blame; the responsibility lies solely with me.
I look at the friends I’ve made and all I’ll lose and I’m filled with regret
Reflecting on the friendships I've formed and what I'll lose fills me with remorse.
But the screams of rage and the cries of pain are too much to forget
The intensity of anger and pain I experienced makes it impossible to forget.
So from the smoke and from the ash
Despite efforts, I struggle to reconstruct what was lost amid the aftermath and remnants.
I can’t piece together everything we had
It's difficult to piece together the entirety of our past.
And all the times we stayed up late
Similar to line #8, reiterating the late-night moments shared.
I never believed that I could hate
Previously, I never thought I could harbor such strong feelings of hate, yet now I do.
but I do and I wish that I could change
I wish to change the intense hatred I feel, realizing its detrimental impact.
Cause it’s been killing me and I haven’t slept in days
The emotional weight of this situation has been distressing, causing sleepless nights.
I hate myself cause of the way that I hate you
I despise myself for the depth of hatred I hold towards you.
This would be easier if you’d just hate me too
If you reciprocated this hatred, it might make this situation easier for me.
So from the smoke and from the ash
Repetition of the struggle to reconstruct what's lost amidst the remnants and aftermath.
I can’t piece together everything we had
Continuing difficulty in piecing together the entirety of the past.
And everything that I regret
I deeply regret everything related to this situation.
I truly hope I don’t forget
I hope I don't lose sight of the things I regret in the future.
