Regrets
Casey Donahew Lyrics

I keep staring down this highway
I am constantly looking down the road, hoping to see you return.

And you'd still be here if I had it my way
I truly believe that if I had the power, I would have made you stay.

But pages of our fairy tale are torn
Our once-perfect relationship has been damaged, and the story we had together is no longer whole.

But I've got my pride to keep me warm
Despite the pain and loneliness, I am able to find solace in my own dignity and self-respect.

And now this room feels like a tomb
Since you've been gone, the place we called home has grown lifeless and oppressive.

On the dark side of the moon
I feel alone and isolated, like I'm drifting far away from the things that once brought me happiness.

And I know you're in his arms again
I realize that you have moved on and found comfort with someone new, and it hurts me deeply.

I should have begged you to stay
Looking back, I realize that I should have done more to try to keep you by my side.

And never let you walk away
I regret my actions in letting you go and not holding on tighter to what we had.

I should've told you that my heart's always been yours
I didn't express my deepest feelings for you, and now I wish I had the chance to do so before it was too late.

So let these empty memories burn
As painful as it is, I need to let go of the memories we shared and the things that remind me of you.

Because you have not returned
I've come to accept that you may never come back, and I need to find a way to move on without you.

And you know regrets
I've learned that regrets are some of the toughest and most valuable lessons in life.

They are the hardest lessons learned
From this experience, I've learned that sometimes the hardest things to do are the things that teach us the most.

I often wonder if I ever cross your mind
I often question whether you ever think of me and what we had.

Now I know you're gone
I've accepted that you are no longer a part of my life.

But my heart still thinks that there's time
Deep down, I still hold a glimmer of hope that we will one day be reunited.

And there's no life left in this place we called a home
Without you, the home we built together feels empty and soulless.

The hardest part of waking up is knowing I'm alone
Starting each day without you is a painful reminder of my loneliness and the emptiness in my life.

But I'll be waiting if you need me
Even though we may be apart, I'll always be here for you if you ever need me.

Because my heart can't say goodbye, yeah!
I still have strong feelings for you and can't bring myself to say a final goodbye.

I wish I would've begged you to stay
I deeply regret not doing more to try to keep you in my life.

But I just let you walk away
Ultimately, I failed to hold onto you, and now I'm paying the price for my mistakes.

You know you'll always have my heart
Even though we're apart, my feelings for you will never change.

So let these empty memories burn
I need to let go of the past and move on without dwelling on the memories of what we had.

Because you have not returned
I accept that you may never return to my life, and I need to find a way to move on without you.

And you know regrets
I've learned that regrets can be a powerful motivator for growth and change.

They are the hardest lessons learned
Despite the pain and heartache, I know that this experience will ultimately make me a stronger person.
