  • Tell me a story
    Where we all change
    And we'd live our lives together
    And not estranged

    I didn't lose my mind it was
    Mine to give away
    Couldn't stay to watch me cry
    You didn't have the time
    So I softly slip away

    No regrets, they don't work
    No regrets now, they only hurt
    Sing me a love song (sing me a love song)
    Drop me a line (drop me a line)
    Suppose it's just a point of view
    But they tell me, I'm doin' fine

    (Ah) I know from the outside (when they all stared)
    We looked good for each other (So people said)
    Felt things were goin' wrong
    When you didn't like my mother (ah)
    (It was all in your head)

    I don't want to hate but that's
    All you've left me with
    A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
    How we all could live

    No regrets, they don't work
    No regrets now, they only hurt (we've been told you stay up late)
    I know they're still talking (you're far too short to carry weight)
    The demons in your head (return the videos, they're late)
    If I could just stop hating you (goodbye)
    I'd feel sorry for us instead

    Remember the photographs, insane
    The one where we all laughed, so lame
    We were havin' the time of our lives
    Well thank you, it was a real blast

    No regrets, they don't work
    No regrets now, they only hurt (we've been told you stay up late)
    Write me a love song (you're far too short to carry weight)
    Drop me a line (return the videos, they're late)
    Suppose it's just a point of view (goodbye)
    But they tell me, I'm doin' fine

    Everything I wanted to be
    Every time I walked away
    Every time you told me to leave
    I just wanted to stay
    Every time you looked at me
    And every time you smiled
    I felt so vacant, you treat me like a child

    I love the way we used to laugh
    I love the way we used to smile
    Often, I sit down and think of you for a while
    And then it passes me by and I think of someone else instead
    I guess the love we once had
    Is officially dead Writer/s: Guy Chambers, Robert Williams
