'No Regrets'
Robbie Williams Lyrics

Tell me a story
Can you describe a world where everyone grows and changes together instead of growing apart?

Where we all change
Imagine a world where every single person changes for the better, so that everyone grows and learns together.

And we'd live our lives together
In this imagined world, everyone is united and lives together in harmony.

And not estranged
No one is separated or estranged from each other in this world.

I didn't lose my mind it was
I may have seemed to lose control, but it was really my choice.

Mine to give away
I chose to give away control of my mental state, rather than holding onto it.

Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You couldn't bear to see me upset or cry, so you left me without a word.

You didn't have the time
Your life was busy, and you didn't have the time to deal with my emotional state.

So I softly slip away
So I left without causing any fuss or commotion.

No regrets they don't work
Regretting past decisions won't change anything, it will only cause more pain and hurt.

No regrets they only hurt
Focusing on regrets from the past will only bring pain and suffering, with no benefit.

Sing me a love song
Can you express your love and affection through music and song?

Drop me a line
Can you express your feelings and thoughts through a simple letter or message?

Suppose it's just a point of view
Maybe my perspective is not the only one, and others may see things differently.

But they tell me I'm doing fine
Despite my struggles and challenges, I hear from others that I am doing well and should keep going.

I know from the outside
Others may see our relationship as healthy and positive from an external perspective.

We looked good for each other
We appeared to be a good match and compatible with each other.

Felt things were going wrong
Internally, things may have been unraveling and not going as well as they seemed on the outside.

When you didn't like my mother
One difficulty that emerged may have been a clash between my partner and my mother, causing tension in the relationship.

I don't want to hate but that's
Although I don't want to feel negative emotions towards you, it's hard not to when that's all that's left of our relationship.

All you've left me with
After things ended, all that remained was negative feelings and a sense of bitterness.

A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
I am left with memories of the love we once shared, but also a sense of bitterness and hurt.

How we all could live
I can't help but imagine how things could have been different, if we had stayed together and worked past our differences.

The demons in your head
There may have been psychological struggles and issues that led to our separation and the end of our relationship.

If I could just stop hating you
Although it's difficult, I wish I could just let go of the negative feelings I have towards you and move on.

I'd feel sorry for us instead
If I could stop hating you, I would feel compassion and empathy for both of us, instead of constant negativity.

Remember the photographs (insane)
Looking back at old photographs of us evokes strong emotions and memories, both good and bad.

The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
Some of the photographs may seem silly or cheesy in retrospect, but they still hold sentimental value.

We were having the time of our lives
In many of these photographs, we are shown having a great time and enjoying each other's company.

Well thank you it was a real blast
Looking back, I can appreciate and thank you for the good times we shared, even though things didn't work out in the end.

Everything I wanted to be every
In the past, I felt like I was becoming the person I wanted to be, someone you could respect and love.

Time I walked away
However, every time I left you or our relationship, that progress was halted and I felt like I was starting over.

Every time you told me to leave
When you would tell me to go or leave, it felt like all my progress and self-improvement was for nothing.

I just wanted to stay
Despite our challenges, I still wanted to be with you and work through our issues together.

Every time you looked at me and
Whenever you would gaze at me with affection or admiration,

Every time you smiled
or smile at me, I felt happiness and validation.

I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
However, when we weren't connecting or communicating well, I felt empty and unfulfilled, as though you were treating me like a child rather than an equal.

I loved the way we used to laugh
Some of my fondest memories of our relationship were times when we were laughing together and just enjoying each other's company.

I loved the way we used to smile
The happiness and affection we shared, including simple smiles, meant a lot to me in our relationship.

Often I sit down and think of you
Although we are no longer together, I still think about you and remember the good times we shared.

For a while
These thoughts and memories sometimes stay with me for a long time, but eventually fade away.

Then it passes by me and I think of
After these memories pass, I often refocus my attention and energy on something or someone else.

Someone else instead
I move on and let go of the past, seeking new experiences and relationships in my life.

I guess the love we once had is
It's difficult to accept, but I realize that the love we shared in the past is no longer there or has faded away completely.

Officially dead
Our relationship has ended for good and there is no hope of reconciliation or rekindling our love.
