Regards

I send you my regards
No matter where you are
Goodbye to you

Dear lord hear me when I pray
Look after her forever please protect her keep her safe
And even though we're not together to this day
I would die to make her happy happiness is overrated
Let's face it no better way to phrase it
Been to hell and back throughout it but no doubt she was the greatest
The way it ended up was not the way it was created
But I get it keep your head up better men you could be dating
I know they've waited long enough to take a chance
Take you out for dinner if they ever laid a hand on you
They'd regret it they'd wish every day would end
They'd be begging for forgiveness only you can give them that
So you're the real deal the one and only
Now I know what perfect is because you showed me
If she was perfect man why'd you walk away
In life it's hard to love somebody when they just don't feel the same
Harder when you know for certain that you're punching above your weight
You can last a couple rounds then fall flat upon your face
But wait I can say that I learned a thing or two
I made it to the ring but I could never give the ring to you
It's true I had my opportunity and blew it
Want the truth that's two times picked up the towel and threw it
In the center of the ring never again
I knew it would end the way it did never thought we'd actually do it
But I did admit it it was doomed from the beginning
One day we'd be the happiest the next we'd be pretending
That our problems washed away not a lot to say I wanted
To be the only one that drove you crazier than anybody could

I send you my regards
No matter who you're with
No matter where you are
I don't regret the life we lived
Thought we'd be together
After all that we've been through
Though it couldn't last forever
Goodbye to you

I just never could
change your mind it's all good we had longer than we thought more than we probably should have
but when I look back I never had you to myself
I think I had you in my head never anywhere else
And nothing's ever felt the way it feels to keep you by my side hurts to say goodbye know that it will help
To give you what you need give you room to breathe
When I know the pressure is often fueled by my intensity
Is it meant to be
I guess we'll have to wait and see
While I'm going out my mind controlling my insanity
Makes it very difficult when you're the cutest human being
Future wife future queen baby you're my future everything
But now my present's looking darker than it's ever been
Flame is still alive it's time to go and find the kerosene
Throw it on the fire I like it brighter
While I'm staring into space hoping that I can decipher
Where it all went wrong now I'm dead from
Analyzing everything but staying headstrong
Criticizing my decisions for the next one
Now I'm sitting here alone in the restaurant
Thinking about all the times that my heart would race
How my jaw would drop when I saw your face
It should be easy not as simple as you think
When I go to sleep at night I see the dimples in your chin
Feeling single for a minute hindered by the feeling
Women all around when it comes to you it's different I can admit it
My head talks but my heart won't even listen
There's a void inside me now where your love's no longer there it's missing

I send you my regards
No matter who you're with
no matter where you are
I don't regret the life we lived
Thought we'd be together
After all that we've been through
Though it couldn't last forever
Goodbye to you

Chop up the plane ticket throw out my travel bag
Effort never made it better uphill battle man
Could never stand a chance
And while I'm thinking of you it's the pain that does it knocks me over like an avalanche
Can I ask
Was there a time you thought it mightn't last
Maybe I was crazy for you not unlike a psychopath
Maybe I was making everything feel like it's life or death
When all I really wanted was for you to like me back
I know it might be bad I'm feeling bad enough
I don't even recognize myself it's out of character
Was different with you I would picture when I'd marry you
Now my head is scattered I'm mad nothing really matters much
I'm out of touch out of luck out my fucking mind
For many months I thought that I was such a lucky guy
I'm not the one maybe I was in another life
No happy ever after just a once upon a time
Now I need to get this off my chest
Maybe this is it maybe it's as good as it gets
What did I expect I'm always quick to second guess
If you're telling me a lie or what you're saying is correct I'm just
So sick of all the fucking politics
Being hidden out of sight out of mind like I just don't exist
A fucking ghost is the most that I'll ever get
You ask me why I stick around I told you I don't quit
But I forget timing is a bitch
Probably why we fought the way we did I hated it
Dear lord if you're looking down and see
That she's coping then I'm hoping that you could look out for me

I send you my regards
No matter who you're with
no matter where you are
I don't regret the life we lived
Thought we'd be together
After all that we've been through
Though it couldn't last forever
Goodbye to you
