The Dark Stain of Regret

To think of all the love you could have had instead of lovers To think of all the bliss it could have bought and not the kind sought under covers Time has took its toll on you and called in all favors Time has put you in this place a graveyard made for ex ravers Through the night you played in wonder Did the morning bring you the dark stain of regret How much can be blamed on drinking Did the means always justify the ends Gambling under the neon in a last chance saloon of the desperate Can it really be a thrill if anyone's prepared to take you home Ply me with drink and you in the end might look desirable Ply me with drink and your hands might be free to wander and roam Some came and left swiftly some never came at all Some I took to quickly whilst others I fixed my gaze on the wall I could have been a girl next door I could have been a lady I could have dipped my toe in the water but I much preferred to dive What's the point of frolicking in lakes when there are rivers and oceans What's the point in love and regret when the end is just to die
