No Regrets
Skylar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These feelings shouldn't stay but oh it feels so right
I've tried to sleep you off but I can't wake for long cause what I said to you was tough but wasn't wrong/was it wrong?
So I choose to keep from you this longing that I feel but I'll bury it deep in my heart till it feels real
Cause I've been drunk for days and I see straight today and although I know I should I just can't walk away
I'll have another drink to wash down this long wait
So you'll choose to keep from me these things I hope you feel but just bury them deep in your heart till it feels real
I watched your beauty slip further away from me
I hope I can reach down inside, start setting these feelings free
Cause I have walked for days and I can't sleep tonight
These feelings shouldn't stay but oh it feels so right
I've tried to sleep you off but I can't wake for long cause what I said to you was tough but wasn't wrong/was it wrong?
And so we'll choose to keep from this these things I hope we feel but just bury them deep in our hearts till it feels real
Yes I'll bury them deep in my heart till it feels real
Will you bury them deep in your heart till it feels real?
