Anathema - Regret

Am Em
as i drift away . . . far away from you ,
Am Em
i feel all alone in a crowded room ,
F
thinking to myself
Dm
“there’s no escape from this
F
fear
regret
Dm
loneliness . . . ”

Am
visions of love and hate
Dm
a collage behind my eyes
Am
remnants of dying laughter
Dm
echoes of silent cries

Am
i wish i didn’t know now that
Em
i never knew then . . .
Am
flashback
Em
memories punish me once again
F
sometimes i remember all the pain
Dm
that i have seen .
F Dm
sometimes i wonder what might
have been . . .

visions of love and hate
a collage behind my eyes
remnants of dying laughter
echoes of silent cries

Am
and sometimes i despair
Dm
at who i’ve become
Am
i have to come to terms
Dm
with what i’ve done

Am
the bittersweet taste of fate
Dm
we can’t outrun the past
Am
destined to find an answer
Dm
a strength i never lost
F
i know there is a way ,
G
my future is not set ,
F
for the tide has turned
C Em
but still i never learned to live
Am
without regret
