No Regrets
Robbie Williams Lyrics

Tell me a story
Please recount an anecdote or tale.

Where we all change
A story taking place over time, where everyone evolves.

And we'd live our lives together
We all go through the journey of life side by side.

And not estranged
Without any distance or separation.

I didn't lose my mind it was Mine to give away
I wasn't crazy, I willingly handed over control of my sanity.

Couldn't stay to watch me cry You didn't have the time So I softly slip away
You left me alone in my vulnerable moments as you lacked the availability to be there for me, and thus gradually disappeared from my life.

No regrets, they don't work No regrets now, they only hurt Sing me a love song (sing me a love song) Drop me a line (drop me a line) Suppose it's just a point of view But they tell me, I'm doin' fine
Regret is ineffective, causing only pain. Despite differing opinions and criticisms, I am informed that I am doing well.

(Ah) I know from the outside (when they all stared) We looked good for each other (So people said) Felt things were goin' wrong When you didn't like my mother (ah) (It was all in your head)
Although people believed we were a great couple, problems arose when you disliked my mother, which was unwarranted since it was purely in your imagination.

I don't want to hate but that's All you've left me with A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of How we all could live
Despite my desire to not cultivate bitterness, that is the only thing left after the end of our relationship, along with what could have been.

The demons in your head (return the videos, they're late) If I could just stop hating you (goodbye) I'd feel sorry for us instead
The problems in your mind, which are not of my making, combined with your failure to return the videos on time, as well as my desire to cease hating you, would enable us to feel sorrow for the situation rather than resentment.

Remember the photographs, insane The one where we all laughed, so lame We were havin' the time of our lives Well thank you, it was a real blast
Recalling the pictures taken, some abnormal, like the one where we all awkwardly chuckled, yet we still enjoyed our time together. Thank you for those memories.

Everything I wanted to be Every time I walked away Every time you told me to leave I just wanted to stay Every time you looked at me And every time you smiled I felt so vacant, you treat me like a child
Each time I tried to be who I envisioned myself as, or leave the situation, you compelled me to remain. Every time I sought affection, I felt dejected and that you didn't respect me.

I love the way we used to laugh I love the way we used to smile Often, I sit down and think of you for a while And then it passes me by and I think of someone else instead I guess the love we once had Is officially dead
I fondly recall our joy, but only temporarily as I ultimately move on, realizing that the love we shared has ended.
