Beautiful Regret

I am the lover and the dreamer
Must hurt to know you were the death of me
But I am the story and I am the spine
I carry the wounds of our desire

But I got stung when I got close
Burnt my soul to dust, turned my blood to rust
Born with the weakness to fall, found the strength to rise
Must hurt to know I'm leaving you behind
Must hurt to know I'm your beautiful regret

I was the eagle before you said I could fly
Now I can see the colours in the sky
I wasn't lonely, just hard to reach
Cut the threads that you attached to me

I loved you too much to hate you too long
Heart doesn't last holding on too strong
Hurt you to know I'm your beautiful regret

I am the lover and the dreamer
Must hurt to know I'm your beautiful regret
Must hurt to know I'm your beautiful regret
