Letter of Regret
Amber Pacific Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With every moment stays true
I'd go as far as to say that I miss you
So far away
I missed my one chance to say
So on to memories of years that passed away
On these walls tell the stories passed of years gone by
Pictures up in black and white
Holding back all the words I said
I said goodbye
Open wounds, broken hearts
Please stay tonight
So send your letters of regret (So send your letters of regret)
It's not the words you never said (It's not the words you never said)
Sing to me
Speak softly now
Hearts will beat
That empty sound

I'm lost for you
I am feeling lost without you in my life
With every moment stays true
My feelings for you remain true with every passing moment
I'd go as far as to say that I miss you
I would even admit that I miss you deeply
So far away
You are currently far away from me
I missed my one chance to say
I regret not taking the opportunity to express my feelings when I had the chance
So on to memories of years that passed away
I am left with memories of the past years as time goes on
On these walls tell the stories passed of years gone by
The walls hold memories and stories of the years that have passed
Breaking promises
I have broken promises made to you
Pictures up in black and white
Old pictures captured in black and white highlight our memories together
Holding back all the words I said
I regret having said certain words and wish I could take them back
I said goodbye
I have already said goodbye, but I regret it now
Open wounds, broken hearts
Our wounds remain open and our hearts are broken
Please stay tonight
I am begging you to spend the night with me
So send your letters of regret (So send your letters of regret)
I am hoping you will write and send me letters expressing your regret for our current situation
It's not the words you never said (It's not the words you never said)
Your silence speaks louder than the words you never said
Sing to me
I want you to sing to me and bring me comfort
Speak softly now
I want you to speak softly and ease my pain
Hearts will beat
Our hearts will continue to beat for each other
That empty sound
The silence is deafening and painful
