Naive
Echoes of Regret: Naive Reflections on Love and Redemption
Lyrics
I know I let you slip away
I regret letting you go.
I left you in a world of pain
I left you in a state of suffering.
I never should have said a thing to you
I shouldn't have spoken to you.
Oh you have such a pretty name
Your name is beautiful.
And it'll never sound the same
Your name has lost its charm for me.
I promise what I said I thought was true
I genuinely believed in what I said.
Maybe when I'm home
Perhaps when I return home.
I'll finally feel like I'm alone
I might finally feel true solitude.
Without my conscience giving way to all my sins
My conscience won't be burdened by my sins.
And maybe it's naive
It might be naive of me.
To wear my heart upon my sleeve
To openly express my emotions.
When if I'm honest I feel stranded in my skin
I feel lost within myself.
But it's ok, it's alright
Despite everything, it's okay.
I'll be far away tonight
I'll be distant tonight.
Everything that you could need
Your needs surpass what I can provide.
Is so much more than I can be
I fall short of fulfilling your expectations.
It's ok, it's alright
Despite everything, it's still okay.
I'll be on my own tonight
I'll be alone tonight.
Cause everything that you deserve
You deserve more than I am.
Is so much more than I am worth
I'm not worthy of what you deserve.
You probably wish we'd never been
You might wish we never met.
That you had never let me in
You regret allowing me into your life.
But honestly I have to say
Despite everything, I must say.
You left me in a better way
You left me in a better state.
It could have been a false alarm
It could have been a false alarm.
The scars that covered up your arms
Your past struggles are hidden.
But I just couldn't be the one
I couldn't be the cause of your harm.
The one that's causing you to harm yourself
I won't contribute to your self-destruction.
Ohhh oh oh no
Expressive interlude.
Maybe when I'm home
Perhaps when I return home again.
I'll finally feel like I'm alone
I might find true solitude.
Without my conscience giving way to all my sins
My conscience won't be burdened by my sins.
And maybe it's naive
It might be naive of me.
To wear my heart upon my sleeve
To openly express my emotions.
When if I'm honest I feel stranded in my skin
I feel lost within myself.
But it's ok, it's alright
Despite everything, it's okay.
I'll be far away tonight
I'll be distant tonight.
Everything that you could need
Your needs surpass what I can provide.
Is so much more than I can be
I fall short of fulfilling your expectations.
It's ok, it's alright
Despite everything, it's still okay.
I'll be on my own tonight
I'll be alone tonight.
Cause everything that you deserve
You deserve more than I am.
Is so much more than I am worth
I'm not worthy of what you deserve.
But it's ok, it's alright
Despite everything, it's okay.
I'll be far away tonight
I'll be distant tonight.
Everything that you could need
Your needs surpass what I can provide.
Is so much more than I can be
I fall short of fulfilling your expectations.
It's ok, it's alright
Despite everything, it's still okay.
I'll be on my own tonight
I'll be alone tonight.
Cause everything that you deserve
You deserve more than I am.
Is so much more than I am worth
I'm not worthy of what you deserve.
