Mirror of Regret

Woke up to the silence, echoes of my past All decisions I've had to make Whispers in the darkness, they haunt my past This Life is more than I can take Oh, regret is a shadow that follows me With every step I'm taking, it's pulling me underneath I hate myself for choices made in reckless haste My Soul it Fades away Promises unspoken linger deep on my conscious Haunted by reflection, the ghost of who was I The laughter turned to tears; the dreams we left behind Now all that's left are memories inside my mind And if I could rewrite lines on pages torn and frayed I'd spare myself from sorrows that have slowly been displayed But time's an unforgiving thief and every choice has grown An echo keeps repeating what I've done I am not alone Oh it's hard breaking free from these chains I've made so real Regret runs through my veins with every wound I feel All these scars tell stories no one else can comprehend It's me against the mirror My Fate hides in the Darkness So here beneath this weight; I'll stand until I'm strong I'll learn to forgive myself and finally move along In shadows of decisions deep-rooted pain will fade Cause even broken pieces find their way into cascade In the mirror, I see a stranger's face Lines of sorrow etching up my pain Decisions made in the heat of the night Now they haunt me like ghosts, oh what a fright
