Regret is what keeps me up at night
Thoughts of how I could have kept better secrets
If I gave a fight
There would be no regrets
Now I'm caged up
Like people with pets
You'll be free again
They say to me
But they don't see
How tightly they have chained me
I'm the only one that sees
The cruelty of what they've done to me
The image of what used to be
Replays itself in my mind
Something I can never leave behind
It's something I hold on to
There to remind
I know I let it happen
But never again
I will never let them
I will fight to be happy again
It will be worth it
I just know it
But for now
From where I sit
Regret... Regret is what keeps me up at night
