Sixteen Weeks
Regret's Echo: Rediscovering Love Lost in Sixteen Weeks
Lyrics
Sixteen weeks ago tonight I let you walk away
Sixteen weeks ago tonight, I regretfully allowed you to leave.
I threw a kiss and smiled as you walked out the door
I sent you off with a blown kiss and a smile as you exited.
But I've done some thinkin', lately, and I find
Upon reflection, I've been contemplating, and I realize
That it isn't half as funny as before
That the situation is not as amusing as it seemed initially.
Sixteen weeks ago tonight I really played a fool
Sixteen weeks ago tonight, I acted foolishly.
Made a big mistake, but everybody does
I made a significant error, but everyone makes mistakes.
Lately, though, I've done some cryin' 'cause I find
However, lately, I've been shedding tears because I realize
That it isn't half as funny as it was
That the situation is not as humorous as it once appeared.
Didn't miss you until I dreamed about some things we used to do
I didn't feel your absence until I dreamt about our past activities.
Then I realized how long you'd been away
Then, I became aware of the prolonged time you've been away.
Don't know how much more of this my heart can take
I'm unsure how much more my heart can endure of this emotional strain.
Wish I'd known the difference sixteen weeks could make
I wish I had recognized the impact that sixteen weeks could have.
Didn't miss you until I dreamed about some things we used to do
I didn't feel your absence until I dreamt about our past activities.
Then I realized how long you'd been away
Then, I became aware of the prolonged time you've been away.
Don't know how much more of this my heart can take
I'm unsure how much more my heart can endure of this emotional strain.
Wish I'd known the difference sixteen weeks could make
I wish I had recognized the impact that sixteen weeks could have.
