Loosely inspired by a poem by Dixy Mae called "My Place". It's about truth and lies, mistakes and false hopes, but most of all, no regrets.
No Regrets
Date: 01/28/2004
No regrets
I won't wallow in the past
I'll find a way
And I will not stand here waiting
In this empty place
I'll never say
The truth is not worth finding
But I'm leaving you behind
I'm leaving you
It's all I can do
When the sun is a shadow
And the sky is red
I never believed a word you said
When you said everything was gonna be alright
I knew that you never really knew
You were telling a lie
No mistakes
I think I've learned enough
I'll find my way
It doesn't matter if I'm staying
For a little while
It's not my style
I'll leave it all behind
'Cuz I think that I might find
Some piece of mind
In another life
Sometimes the sun is a shadow
And the sky is red
I never believed a word you said
When you said everything was gonna be alright
I knew that you never really knew the truth
Now the sun is a shadow
And the sky is red
I never believed a word you said
When you said everything was gonna be alright
I knew that you never really knew
You were telling a lie
And I've learned to survive
It's not what I wanted
To keep you inside
The little bit I waited
I waited 'til the sun went down
A thousand lonely nights
I kept you inside
No retreat
I will fight until the end
I gotta win
If I don't, then I'll keep playing
'Cuz I gotta try
Another time
The truth is there for the finding
And I'm dying to be found
I'm lost in the sound
Of your broken vows
Because the sun is a shadow
And the sky is red
I never believed a word you said
When you said everything was gonna be alright
Well you can take your truth and put it
Where the sun is a shadow
And the sky is red
I never believed a word you said
When you said everything was gonna be alright
I knew that you never really knew
You were telling a lie
But I got no regrets
I know I'll be alright
No regrets for the past
This time I'll do it right
