Regret

There's nothing like laying awake at night
And wondering where the years have gone
And why everything you did
Was all so wrong
You look through the time
Onto another place
And anything good has disappeared
Lost through time and space
You'd fake that smile
That has a home upon your lips
Pretend that all was well
When everyone saw the cracks and dips
But now those years have passed
And you're still pretending
That it's not your fault
The loneliness has no ending
Regret is that hideous thing
That builds up inside
Until you lose the ability
To take it all in stride
