Acygnet - Regret Lyrics

The clock ticks loud, each second a kick in the gut, reminding me of the stupid thing I did.
Sleep won't come, I'm wide awake replaying the whole mess in my head.
Moonlight used to be calming, now it just shines on all my mistakes.
Everything's quiet, but it feels like a scream 'cause of all the stuff I should've done differently.

The other way I could've gone feels like a lost limb, still hurting even though it's gone.
I try to explain it away, but every excuse sounds lame next to the mess I made.
But in the middle of all this doubt, a spark of fight ignites.
These tears sting, but they're washing away the questions and leaving me with a burning need to fix things.

My eyes, blurry with regret before, are finally clearing up with a new plan.
I used to feel ashamed looking down, but now there's a fire in them.
What happened can't be changed, it's like a picture stuck in the past, but the future's wide open, waiting for me to make it right.
This regret feels awful, but it won't hold me back forever, it's gonna push me to be better.
I'm not looking back anymore, I'm staring straight ahead at the road I gotta take to fix my mistakes.

That dumb decision I made was like a weed that choked out all the good things that could've happened.
I burned down a bridge with someone, all because I wasn't thinking clearly.
The things I never said hang heavy, like a hole in a friendship that used to be strong.
I keep thinking about all the chances I missed, and it makes me realize how precious time is.
But under all this regret, there's a strength growing inside me.

I can't turn back the clock, but I can learn from my mistakes and become a better person.
The bad choices I made aren't the end of the story, they're just lessons that will help me navigate the future.
Every new day is a chance to rewrite my story, to fix the bridges I burned with actions that show I'm sorry.

My eyes, blurry with regret before, are finally clearing up with a new plan.
I used to feel ashamed looking down, but now there's a fire in them.
What happened can't be changed, it's like a picture stuck in the past, but the future's wide open, waiting for me to make it right.
This regret feels awful, but it won't hold me back forever, it's gonna push me to be better.
I'm not looking back anymore, I'm staring straight ahead at the road I gotta take to fix my mistakes.

That dumb decision I made was like a weed that choked out all the good things that could've happened.
I burned down a bridge with someone, all because I wasn't thinking clearly.
The things I never said hang heavy, like a hole in a friendship that used to be strong.
I keep thinking about all the chances I missed, and it makes me realize how precious time is.
But under all this regret, there's a strength growing inside me.

Regret might always sting a little, a reminder of what I did wrong.
But I'm choosing to learn from it, not let it hold me down.
It's an eye opener, showing me the power of making good choices, living with purpose, and never giving up on myself.
The past can't be changed, but the future is an empty canvas waiting for me to paint it with forgiveness and the chance to grow.

No more hiding from my mistakes.
I'm stepping forward, eyes wide open, ready for a new day.
The road ahead might be bumpy, but I'm carrying the lessons I learned.
Regret might be a part of me, but it doesn't define me.
These eyes, full of sorrow before, now shine with the determination to build a future filled with meaning and a heart at peace.

To build a future filled with meaning and a heart at peace.
