Regrets
The Cemetary Girlz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A new days beginning with a smile
Going to work on each side
Saying goodbye for the day on the train quay
With a single gaze
I don't think I realize, what I was living
I didn't realize I was so happy
Time freezing or going too fast
We were so different, we felt so good
But I lost control, I was so confused,
So young and so lost, I lost control
Your "I'll always love you" still resounds in my head
In my ears, in my soul still resounds
i realize now, my greatest mistake was to leave you.
Cards, letters, pictures torn apart
Crazy how in a whisper
Things can fade away, memories break, a life
I walk in the shadow
Thinking of us
And I think you know
Though life "nous a séparé"
I don't regret the past
Regrets always come late
Your lipstick on the window pane remains
Your paintings I hate still hang on the wall
Still smoking in bed
Still waking at night
And always afraid of never waking up
Bad habits, oven left on
Forgetting my keys on the door
Still late at "rendez-vous"
I didn't change and never will
You loved me this way,
The way I am
We were so different,
So alike
And I think you know
Though life "nous a séparé"
I don't regret the past
Thinking at the first moments
Where I was waiting for you, hours in the subways
Where you were waiting, hours at the windows, for me to come back
i never did and I regret
"c'est la vie"
Regrets always come late,
regrets always come late,
Things can fade away, memories break, a life
Regrets always come late,
regrets always come late.
C'est la vie...Qui nous à séparés
The Cemetery Girlz’s song Regrets is about the main protagonist, who is looking back at a relationship filled with love and happiness, but regrets breaking it off. They describe waking up beside their partner, going to work together, making memories, and being so happy. However, their youth and lack of control caused them to break things off, leading to regret and nostalgia for the past. They mention how memories break and how life separated them, but they still hold onto the past and never regret the person they were with. The song emphasizes the idea that regrets always come late and life can change in the blink of an eye, leaving you with missed opportunities.
Line by Line Meaning
Waking up at your side
Starting the day with you by my side
A new days beginning with a smile
Each day was a fresh start that brought happiness
Going to work on each side
We worked together and supported each other
Saying goodbye for the day on the train quay
Parting ways each morning at the train station
With a single gaze
A look that spoke volumes
I don't think I realize, what I was living
I didn't fully appreciate the life we had together
I didn't realize I was so happy
I didn't realize just how much happiness you brought me
Time freezing or going too fast
Time seemed to pass in strange ways - sometimes too quickly, sometimes too slowly
Each moment creating memories
Every moment spent together was a memory in the making
We were so different, we felt so good
We had our differences, but they only brought us closer together
But I lost control, I was so confused,
I made some mistakes and didn't know how to handle them
So young and so lost, I lost control
I was young and naive, and made some bad decisions
Your "I'll always love you" still resounds in my head
Your words of love still echo in my mind
In my ears, in my soul still resounds
Your love still lingers within me
i realize now, my greatest mistake was to leave you.
Looking back, I understand that leaving you was my biggest mistake
Cards, letters, pictures torn apart
The painful act of tearing apart memories in the aftermath of our breakup
Crazy how in a whisper
How easily things can change in a fleeting moment
Things can fade away, memories break, a life
Life can be unpredictable and cruel, and sometimes things we hold dear can slip away from us
I walk in the shadow
Feeling lost and alone without you
Thinking of us
Remembering the good times we shared
And I think you know
I believe you understand how I feel
Though life "nous a séparé"
Even though life has pulled us apart
I don't regret the past
Despite the pain, I don't regret the love we shared
Regrets always come late
It's easy to look back with regret once it's too late
Your lipstick on the window pane remains
Proof of your presence and the love we shared still lingers
Your paintings I hate still hang on the wall
The painful reminders of you still decorate my space
Still smoking in bed
The bad habits I've held onto, even after you're gone
Still waking at night
The sleepless nights that haunt me, even after all this time
And always afraid of never waking up
The fear of never being able to make things right with you
Bad habits, oven left on
The careless mistakes I make, without you to hold me accountable
Forgetting my keys on the door
The absent-mindedness that plagues me when you're not around
Still late at "rendez-vous"
My usual tardiness, even when it comes to important meetings
I didn't change and never will
I know that I still have flaws and might never fully change
You loved me this way,
Despite my flaws, you loved me just the way I am
We were so different,
Our differences were what made us unique and special together
So alike
And yet we were also so similar in the things we valued and cared about
Thinking at the first moments
Remembering the early days of our relationship
Where I was waiting for you, hours in the subways
The lengths I went to, just to be with you
Where you were waiting, hours at the windows, for me to come back
The way you eagerly awaited my return each day
i never did and I regret
And now I regret never making it back to you
"c'est la vie"
Such is life - full of ups and downs, and things that are beyond our control
Regrets always come late,
It's only after the fact that we realize the mistakes we've made
C'est la vie...Qui nous à séparés
But despite the pain of separation, we try to accept the flow of life for what it is.
