Regrets of Tomorrow

I wanted to write something deep
I wanted to prove that I can be
Something more than endless bore
Beyond what other people think
I wanted to write something new
I wanted to prove that I can do
Something less, I must confess
Even simpler than the truth

Even when I write this song
It seems that all the words are wrong
Cause when they form inside my head
My heart screams something else instead
I'm struggling to spell the words
I'm struggling to write this verse
Cause evry'thing I think comes from my head
Someone else already said

When this moment fades away, I want the joy to stay
When all color fades to grey, will this painting stay the same?
And when all is said and done, will I want to turn and run?
How will I ever know the regrets of tomorrow?

All my memories, they haunt me
But they almost never taunt me
They just remind me of things
That can never be repeated
I can never be nine again
Never be a child again
Never be innocent, never be limited
Never not know what I know that I know again

Even when I write this song
It seems that all the words are wrong
Cause when they form inside my head
My heart screams something else instead
I'm struggling to spell the words
I'm struggling to write this verse
Cause evry'thing I think comes from my head
Someone else already said

When this moment fades away, I want the joy to stay
When all color fades to grey, will this painting stay the same?
And when all is said and done, will I want to turn and run?
How will I ever know the regrets of tomorrow?

You see through my disguise
When I close my eyes
But will you ever know?
Will I ever know?
Do we want to know?
The regrets of tomorrow?

When this moment fades away, I want the joy to stay
When all color fades to grey, will this painting stay the same?
And when all is said and done, will I want to turn and run?
How will I ever know the regrets of tomorrow?
