Regrets and Repair

They say live a life of no regrets
Take a breath and pass the test of time
Kid you're gonna be just fine
But I'm looking back on such a mess
That if I stare I'll stay here petrified
In the ruins of my life

They never told me
Just how easy it would be
To find myself consumed
With all this longing left in me

So burn me down
I know that I deserve this
The hurt behind the verses
I can't hold out
I'm weary of this burden
I don't wanna be this person anymore

I thought all was for the taking
Didn't care who I was breaking
Just to find
A new way to feel alive
And escape the pain I hated
So I threw my cares away
LIke they were lies
But they're breaking me this time

I'm hollow and so desperate
The lie of life with no regrets is through
But I wish it weren't true
For these failures I'm a veteran
Now I know much better than you do
No, you never had a clue

I heard about a way
To find new life in me
But finding this forgiveness
Is just too hard to believe

So burn me down
I know that I deserve this
The hurt behind the verses
I can't hold out
I'm weary of this burden
I don't wanna be this person now
So burn me down
I know that I deserve this
The hurt behind the verses
I can't hold out
I'm weary of this burden
I don't wanna be this person anymore

You said I just have to cry out
And You'll be there (and You'll be there)
And not even my brokenness
Is lost beyond repair

So burn me down
I'm weary of this burden
I don't wanna be this person anymore
