My Regret
Haunted by Regret: Unveiling the Emotional Ghosts in Madilyn Paige's 'My Regret'
Lyrics
Did I mean it
Feeling uncertain about the sincerity of my previous statement
When I said I don’t care what you think about me leavin’
Expressing indifference to others' opinions about my departure
Cuz I really didn’t feel it
Questioning if I truly cared, as the emotions weren't genuine
Tell me was it selfish
Wondering if my decision to prioritize personal desires was self-centered
To give you up for what I wanted in the moment
Weighing the cost of sacrificing a relationship for immediate gratification
I was tired of pretending we’re doing okay
Admitting weariness in pretending everything was fine in the relationship
Starting now to realize
Recognizing the reality of the situation
Guilt is ruthless
Acknowledging the relentless nature of guilt
Cuz the truth is
Admitting that living with guilt is challenging due to its truth
I’m livin' off blame and bad excuses
Realizing that I am sustaining myself on blaming others and offering weak justifications
Petrified retracing all my steps
Experiencing fear and anxiety while retracing past decisions
Haunted by the rumors
Being troubled by rumors and gossip about the past
Shadows of the truth
Living in the lingering effects of concealed truths
Oh I live with the ghost of my regret
Enduring the haunting presence of remorse and guilt
Did you mean it
Questioning the sincerity of someone else's unspoken feelings
All the things you never said, hidden by your silent treatment
Referencing unspoken words hidden in the silence of the other person
Always scared of what you’re thinkin’
Consistently anxious about the thoughts and judgments of the other person
Give me a reason
Seeking justification for the impact of staying in the relationship
Why staying would have even made any difference
Questioning the significance of remaining in the relationship
It just felt so easy to throw it away
Perceiving the act of ending the relationship as effortless
Thought the hurt would heal with time
Believing that time would heal the pain, but realizing it hasn't
But guilt is ruthless
Acknowledging the relentlessness of guilt and its impact
Cuz the truth is
Living with the consequences of blaming others and offering excuses
I’m livin’ off blame and bad excuses
Experiencing fear and anxiety while retracing past decisions
Petrified retracing all my steps
Being troubled by rumors and gossip about the past
Haunted by the rumors
Living in the lingering effects of concealed truths
Shadows of the truth
Enduring the haunting presence of remorse and guilt
Oh I live with the ghost of my regret
Continuing to live with the persistent and haunting consequences of regret
Keeps me up at night
Struggling to find peace during sleep due to inner turmoil
There’s nowhere I can hide
Feeling a lack of refuge, unable to escape from inner struggles
Guilt is ruthless
Reiterating the relentless nature of guilt and its impact
I’m livin’ off blame and bad excuses
Sustaining oneself on blaming others and offering weak justifications
Petrified retracing all my steps
Experiencing fear and anxiety while retracing past decisions
Haunted by the rumors
Being troubled by rumors and gossip about the past
Shadows of the truth
Living in the lingering effects of concealed truths
Oh I live with the ghost of my regret
Enduring the haunting presence of remorse and guilt
