I need to ease the pain,
If possible erase the pain,
Better than taking a razor blade,
To my arm again, I’m stopping
That from happening.

I know exactly where to go
And where I want to go,
That euphoric land of numb,
And I can get there with just
That sweet 20 in my hand.
Looking better to me than
Golden sand.

My clothes are torn, I’m kneeling,
I want to feel that warm feeling,
I put the needle in my vein,
But it doesn’t draw any blood,
My heart begins to thud,

I try all round my body, trying to
Find that an open vein,
I find one, the one on my neck,
Looking at myself in the mirror
I think what a monster I am,

I sit down then open a can
Pour it into my cup, get some
Ice cubes, chuck a few in,
Then sit back and think about
My life, what the hell am I doing?

Even if the stars won’t align,
And we can’t get it right,
I’ll still stand by your side,
Till the day I die.

Even if our what if’s come true,
I’ll stand by you,

Till the day I die,
I’ll stand by your side,
Until we can get it right,
Even if the stars don’t align,

Hold me,
The way you did that night
That we kissed, underneath
The stars, sitting in our car
Love that would never end,
Love that wouldn’t dent,

At least that’s what we thought,
But I guess that was just a lie,
One of many that were told,
By you and I.

Hold me like you did, once more
And don’t let go,

It’s true,
You regret the things you didn’t do,
The chances you didn’t take,
The opportunity’s you didn’t make,

The hands you didn’t hold,
The secrets you never told,
The dances you didn’t danced,
The things you never said,

You regret the things you didn’t do,

The places you didn’t go,
The people you didn’t meet,
The things you’ll never know,
The times you didn’t eat,

The things you never gave back,
The things you didn’t appreciate,
The people you didn’t date,
The things you never realised,

You regret the things didn’t do,

The things you didn’t try with,
The people you didn’t keep,
The things you didn’t hold on to,
The things you didn’t put your all into,

The things you didn’t stop,
The things you didn’t turn down,
The things you never thought mattered,

It all matters now,
You regret the things you didn’t do,
It’s true.

Sometimes,
The stars don’t align,
Sometimes,
It’s just the wrong time,

Sometimes,
You’re not meant for each other,
Sometimes,
You’re not supposed to be a lover,

Sometimes,
It’s not really meant to be,
Sometimes,
You’re not supposed to be happy,

Sometimes,
You don’t have good luck,
Sometimes,
You just mess things up.
