Dress Up
Regrettes Lyrics

You wanna go but, think you should stay here
You feel the urge to leave, yet there's a part of you that believes it's wiser to remain present in this moment.

Can't touch my toes, but I can be a saviour
I may not be physically flexible or perfect, but I can still provide support and help to someone in need.

Know that it's been said before
I'm aware that others have expressed similar thoughts and feelings in the past.

But I'll say it again, louder, for sure
However, I feel it's necessary to reiterate my feelings emphatically to ensure they are heard.

I made a promise, I might've messed up
I made a commitment that I may not have fulfilled perfectly or completely.

I said I'd be there, but I'll play dress up
Although I pledged to support you, I find myself pretending or masking my true feelings instead.

I know if you'll just hold my hand
I believe that if we can connect physically or emotionally, it will help bridge the gap between us.

Then you'll understand
Through that connection, I hope you will gain insight into my feelings and perspective.

Yeah, you'll understand
I am confident that this understanding will come if we can share that bond.

Don't think I don't wanna hear your voice
Please don't assume that I am uninterested in what you have to say.

(Your voice, your, your voice!)
Your voice is significant to me, and I long to hear it again.

'Cause, all I wanted was your voice
Ultimately, my deep desire is simply to engage in conversation with you.

But my head was clogged, and my toes were numb
I was overwhelmed mentally by distractions, rendering me unable to connect emotionally or physically.

I got a million excuses sitting under my thumb
I have numerous rationalizations for my behavior that I keep close but need to confront.

And we know
Both of us are aware of the underlying truth of our situation.

You wanna let go
You desire to release the emotional burdens that our situation has created.

I know you're hurtin', you need a band-aid
I recognize your pain and understand that you require comfort and healing.

You got a cut and I was the blade
Your wounds may have stemmed from my actions or words, which were hurtful.

I wanna be the thing you need
I genuinely wish to become the source of support and comfort you require.

But I'm just a little stuck in my sorry routine
However, I find myself trapped in patterns of behavior that inhibit my ability to be there for you.

Remember when we would spend all night
Reflect on the times we shared together, filled with laughter and lightheartedness.

On the kitchen floor, laughin' 'bout some fight
Recall those moments of joy, even amidst conflicts, where we found humor and connection.

I wish that I could drink your tea
I long for the simple pleasures we shared, like enjoying your company over a cozy drink.

But some people change when they move to the valley
Changes in environment or circumstances can alter people, impacting relationships and dynamics.

Don't think I don't wanna hear your voice
Please don't assume that I am disinterested in everything you have to say.

(Your voice, your, your voice!)
Hearing your voice is crucial to me, and I deeply desire to reconnect.

'Cause, all I wanted was your voice
Above all, it's your words and presence that I crave and miss the most.

But my head was clogged, and my toes were numb
I find myself in a mental fog, paralyzing my capacity to express my emotions or actions.

I got a million excuses on the tip of my tongue
I am filled with justifications for my behavior, yet I struggle to articulate them.

And we know
We both acknowledge the reality of our situation and underlying tensions.

You wanna let go
You have a desire to move past this turmoil and find peace.

Oh, oh
This expression conveys a variety of emotions—sadness, frustration, and yearning.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I'm sorry
I repeatedly express my love, accompanied by an apology for my wrongdoings.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I'm sorry
The refrain continues to emphasize my affection intertwined with regret.

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, but I'm lying
I am making efforts to mend things, yet I acknowledge that I am not being completely truthful.

I love you, I love you
This declaration of love remains a constant in my thoughts and emotions.

I love you, I'm so sorry!
My love remains strong, paired with a heartfelt apology for my past actions.

Don't think I don't wanna hear your voice
Once again, I emphasize my genuine interest in your thoughts and feelings.

(Your voice, your, your voice!)
This plea reiterates the importance of your voice to me.

'Cause, all I wanted was your voice
Ultimately, the core of my longing is to connect with you through your words.

But my head was clogged, and my toes were numb
I repeat the struggle of feeling mentally overwhelmed, obscuring my ability to reach out.

I've got a million excuses, waiting for the run
There’s an abundance of justifications at my disposal, yet I hesitate to voice them.

And we know
We both understand the complexities involved in our relationship.

Yeah, we know
Our mutual awareness highlights the reality of our emotional situation.

You wanna let go
You seek liberation from the emotional weight our relationship carries.
