Craig Abaya - Regret Lyrics

Forfeit what you've got, walk away from your lot
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, that's what they say
So you emptied out your life
Of your wrongs and your rights
Trying to wipe away a life of regret

Chasing after your lost youth
Still ignoring so much truth
You abandoned what you had for so long
Built from thinking you were so right
You've replaced your whole life
With the same disregard you'll regret

Could it be that my mere presence
Casts a shadow on your charade?
And so you consider me a threat
Do you ever look in the mirror?
Do you ever face the truth?
Or just hide behind an illusion of regret?

I tried to reach out, day in and day out
In return, I got nothing at all
So I walked on and carried on
Couldn't let it linger on
So I stopped... hoping for something
I stopped... thinking it meant something
So, I stopped... before I'd do something
That I'd regret
