Bitter Regrets

I've had the same dream 
Again and again 
Night after night 
And I spend day after day 
Thinking about what it means 

I'm standing in front of that building 
Looking up to look you in the eyes 
And the words 
That were once stuck in my mouth 
Escaped 
And you looked me in my eyes 
And told me what you never said 

But before those words can escape
I wake up drenched in the same feeling 
Of overwhelming bitterness 
Not bittersweet just bitter 
And regret consumes my mind 

And it's almost been three years 
And maybe I've grown
And we've both matured 
And maybe we left that forever for a reason 
But maybe one day it'll come back to us 
And the words that were stuck in my mind 
Can finally find a way out

  • As I soon leave

    we can run fast 
    run forever 
    until we lose ourselves 
    our spirit
    but it doesn't matter 

    as we sit in the grass 
    and breathe in 
    as the air grows sweet 

  • Maybe

    When I am no longer 
    The same as I once was 
    And you have equally changed 

    All these memories and moments 
    That I once believed 
    Would last 
    Forever 

  • I'll go

    I've been to the desert 
    Following something 
    I cannot blame

    See the ghosts by the water 
    The horses in the rain 
    The man lying by the river 
    Hearing god call his name
