Regret About Me
Regret About Me: Unveiling Heartbreak and Healing
Lyrics
I won’t wish you open wounds or broken bones
I won’t wish you physical harm or injury
At most, I hope you choke on the words I wrote
At most, I hope you struggle with the impact of the words I've written
Alone like a heart of stone from an empty home
Feeling isolated, like a heart of stone in an empty home
I don’t, wish you pain now that we’ve both grown
I don't desire pain for you now that we've both matured
I wish, I wish, I wish I could tell you
Expressing a longing or desire to communicate
I would, I would, I would just call a truce
Expressing willingness to make amends or end a conflict
In the end I can’t pretend
Acknowledging the inability to pretend or start over again
I can’t start over again
-I can’t start over again
-I can’t start over again
-Every time I turn around I feel I’m always looking over my shoulder
Sensing constant vigilance, feeling watched or under scrutiny
I’ll be the soul you consumed; you’ll be the salt in my wounds
Symbolic imagery: one person consumed the other's soul, leaving emotional wounds
Our scars still connect us
Despite separation, emotional scars still connect the individuals
I know, I know, I know they all say it
Recognizing a common saying that things in life are transient
Things come, things come and go, that’s how life is
Acknowledging the impermanence of things
But in the end I can’t pretend
Reiterating the inability to pretend or start over again
I can’t start over again
-I can’t start over again
-I can’t start over again
-I can’t be all you need
Accepting the inability to fulfill all the other person's needs
So forget or regret about me
Suggesting the other person should either forget or have regrets about the speaker
‘Cos in the end I can’t pretend
Reiterating the inability to pretend or start over again
I can’t start over again
-And I need you to know
Expressing the omnipresence of the other person in the speaker's life
That you’re everywhere I go
-‘Cos the paths that we made
Reflecting on shared experiences that helped the speaker grow and break free
Helped me break through the mould
-Now we’ll never be friends but we’re not enemies
Describing a changed relationship from friends to distant memories
Just two strangers who share a distant memory
-I wish, I wish, I wish I could tell you
Repeating the desire to communicate and make amends
I would, I would, I would just call a truce
-In the end I can’t pretend
Reiterating the inability to pretend or start over again
I can’t start over again
-I can’t start over again
-I can’t start over again
-I can’t be all you need
Acknowledging the inability to fulfill all the other person's needs
So forget or regret about me
Suggesting the other person should either forget or have regrets about the speaker
In the end I can’t pretend
Reiterating the inability to pretend or start over again
I can’t start over again
