Before I Regret
For the Fallen Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring it back then take it all away.
My feelings now are on the line.
I haven't felt so far behind.
She lead my ghost to shallow water.
Nothing but respect, only with respect.
As I lay with regret,
Nothing but regret, so I repent.
Every now and then,
I take a look at all the pictures,
That you've sent to me,
And all the letters.
Hoping you're better.
Before I regret that you'll never remember me.
You will never be the same.
Every now and then,
I take a look at all the pictures,
That you've sent to me,
And all the letters.
Hoping you're better.
Before I regret this will never be.
Will you remember me?
The lyrics of For the Fallen Dreams' song Before I Regret seem to speak about the end of a relationship or a significant emotional event in the singer's life. The first two lines, "This is the end for now I pray. Bring it back then take it all away," could be interpreted as the singer's desire for closure or resolution, even if it means erasing everything that has happened. However, the following lines indicate that the singer is struggling with their emotions, feeling distant and regretful. The line "She lead my ghost to shallow water" could be a metaphorical reference to being left empty, without substance or purpose.
In the chorus, the repetition of the lines "Every now and then, I take a look at all the pictures/ That you've sent to me/ And all the letters/ Hoping you're better" suggests that the singer is struggling to move on from the past, yet they wish their former partner well. The line "Before I regret that you'll never remember me" expresses the fear of being forgotten by someone who was once important to the singer. The last line, "Will you remember me?" is a plea for validation that the relationship mattered, and that the singer's emotions were valid.

That you've sent to me,
I hold onto the physical reminders of our relationship that you gave me.
And all the letters.
I reread the letters and messages that you wrote to me, trying to find some solace in them.
Hoping you're better.
I want to believe that you are doing well and have moved on from our relationship in a positive way.
Before I regret that you'll never remember me.
I am afraid that someday you will forget about me completely and our memories together will fade away.
You will never be the same.
I understand that you have changed and grown apart from me, and that I cannot expect you to be the same person you were when we were together.
Before I regret this will never be.
I am trying to come to terms with the fact that what we had can never be again.
Will you remember me?
I hope that you will hold onto our memories together and that I will always have a place in your heart.
