On Regret - Splinter Lyrics

I'm that splinter in your side
The beer that overflows
The pages stuck together
The plot you never chose
Mistakes held so close together
Feel imperfect when apart
Those things that were forever
Never settled in your heart

We've been living in this house
And waiting in the dark
We'd just sit there laughing
At a light or a spark
Pretending each touch is a beat
Each hope on repeat
The ending is the same
I'm the loser in this game

How can I make this last
You're shelter from the cold
Four years gone by so fast
And I'm getting old
The words I'll never say
Speak in the bottle on my stove
And the idea I'll move on
Scares me more than I'll ever know

I watched the girl I love
Move a thousand miles away
Each memory now
Is a picture in a frame
(A permanent stain)
