Regret
Singer-songwriter/Producer Amber Mark's multifaceted and sophisticated pop … Read Full Bio ↴Singer-songwriter/Producer Amber Mark's multifaceted and sophisticated pop sound is rooted in a wide range of inspirations soaked up from time spent in the U.S., India, Germany, Brazil, and Nepal. She began writing music as a way to work through the 2013 death of her mother and in 2016, while in her early twenties, released her first songs: "Space," "Monsoon" (featuring her mother's voice), and "Way Back." The debut, supported by DJ Zane Lowe, left the biggest impact. The following year, after she signed with the Universal-distributed PMR Records -- home to similarly hard-to-pigeonhole singer/songwriters Jamie Woon and Jessie Ware -- Mark released 3:33am, an EP that featured the three previous singles and four new songs. Following the vibrant "Heat Wave" later that year, Mark issued another single, "Love Me Right," in early 2018.

Regret
Amber Mark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At times I wish that I could take back
The time I made you feel real bad
Now you
Why you, darling?

I should have said I love the memories
I could have given all of the world to see
But you
Now you, darling

'Cause there are so many stories
You were going to tell me
And now all of these moments
I will never get to see
How, you were my everything




Now, won't get a chance to say it
No more, oh oh, more, oh oh, more oh oh, oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

problem, these lyrics are a great example of a poetic expression of regret. The singer wishes they could take back some of their actions that left their loved one feeling bad. The line "Now you, why you darling?" is a rhetorical question where the singer is addressing their loved one and asking why they had to suffer because of their mistakes. The following lines suggest that the singer had some good memories with their loved one, which they should have celebrated while they had the chance. Unfortunately, they missed that opportunity, and now they are full of regret.


The rest of the lyrics highlight the missed opportunities and unfulfilled promises that will never happen now. The singer was looking forward to hearing about their loved one's stories, but they will never get a chance to hear those now. They lament about not being able to share all those moments with their loved one. The last two lines are particularly potent, as the singer accepts that they missed their chance to express their true feelings. Overall, the lyrics convey a poignant message of regret and the consequences of actions that cannot be undone.

This made me cry for Jahil from, “Star.” It’s a beautiful song. Thank you for posting @Amber Mark. I love your music!

CuckooMan22

I have no idea who Jahlil is or what Star is but I came from Spotify. It is just something about this song. I would just listen mesmerized without knowing what it was about. After I looked up the lyrics I realized it was about losing her mother. When you lose someone you express the same sentiments but it is something about this song that is so poetic. And the arrangement is so smooth.

It’s a very good show.
