Regrets
Tomii Chan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know if I'll get the chance
To tell you how it feels

That one time you talked to me
And accused me for being wrong

Not too often they complain
About the selfishness of you

But there was indeed a chance
For us to make peace

My regrets
Will stay with me

My words
have hurt not only you

I tried to keep things simple
To fight the urge of doing too much

This is kind of crazy
To do things you don't like

But then I guess it's necessary
To keep things under control

But what does control even mean
If the one you care has gone away

My regrets
Will stay with me

My words
have hurt not only you
