Regrets
Vanna Rainelle Lyrics

Can't nobody tell me different
I am confident in my perception and no one can convince me otherwise.

No, I can see through you
I am aware of your true nature.

Everyone says that I don't see the bad shit that you do
People say I overlook your negative behavior and refuse to acknowledge the truth.

They say I overlook it, don't wanna see the truth
Others believe I ignore your faults and prefer to live in denial.

But I don't wanna know that I never really knew you
I don't want to accept that I was never truly familiar with who you are.

I spent all of my time tryna know you,
I invested a lot of time attempting to understand you.

Was it all a lie?
I question the authenticity of our relationship.

Boy I told you, we just weren't right
I expressed that we weren't compatible.

But I never knew you the way I thought I do
I didn't truly know who you were despite thinking I did.

That's why I wasted all my time on you
I regret investing so much time in our relationship.

I just wish you'd said
I desire you to have communicated honestly with me.

Before getting in my head
Prior to emotionally manipulating me.

'Cause now I'm stuck on you, but I'm by myself
Now I am emotionally attached to you, but I am alone.

Got me wrapped 'round your finger, then left
You had me under your control and then abruptly abandoned me.

Boy, how could you do this after all I said?
I am confused and hurt because my warnings went unnoticed.

When I let you in my bed?
When I allowed you to be intimate with me?

Let you get in my head?
When I allowed you to manipulate my emotions?

Now it's just me and my regrets
Now I am alone with nothing but my sense of remorse.

What hurts the most, is that I know
The most painful realization is that I understand.

This whole thing's just one sided
Our relationship was only meaningful to me.

I could have anyone that I want
I am capable of attracting anyone I desire.

But if it ain't you, I ain't satisfied, yeah
But if it's not you, then I won't be content.

You'll always see me runnin'
I will always be pursuing you.

I'll find my way back to you
I will continue to return to you despite the pain you cause me.

You love to take advantage
You enjoy exploiting my emotional vulnerability.

That I'm not over you
That I am not able to move on from you.

Why can't I leave after all this shit you put me through?
Why can't I walk away after enduring so much pain from you?

I'll put up with all your shit
I will tolerate all the negative aspects of our relationship.

If it means that you'll give me what I need every now and then
If it results in you providing me with what I desire occasionally.

'Cause it's the only thing that keeps you with me
Because that is the only reason you continue to be a part of my life.

I give myself just to fill all your needs
I sacrifice my own well-being to meet your demands.

While my heart breaks, it bleeds
My heart is shattered and the emotional pain is overwhelming.

And it's draining
The emotional toll of this relationship is exhausting.

You have no idea how much it means
You are unaware of how significant our relationship is to me.

Just to have you with me
I am satisfied just being in your presence.

Even though I know you use me
Despite my awareness of your manipulation, I still cling to you.
