Anathema - Regret lyrics

As I drift away, far away from you
I feel all alone in a crowded room
Thinking to myself
There's no escape from this
Fear, regret, loneliness

Visions of love and hate
A collage behind my eyes
Remnants of dying laughter
Echoes of silent cries

I wish I didn't know now what
I never knew then
Flashback, memories punish me once again
Sometimes I remember all the pain
That I have seen
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

And sometimes I despair at who I've become
I have to come to terms with what I've done

The bittersweet taste of fate
We can't outrun the past
Destined to find an answer
A strength I never lost
I know there is a way, my future is not set
For the tide has turned but still I
Never learned to live without regret
