Regret is a powerful substance
Like heroin injected straight into my existence
It trumps all else
Like most, I know, I had my share
Of being weighed down by the despair
Of wondering what could've been
So hold it against me
I deserve to take the blame
So maybe one day I'll sleep again
I often think if I believed in God
Could he help me lift this weight off of my heart
Or am I doomed to burn?
I fear this weight might be too big to budge
That no known deity could ever absolve this much
It's a lesson I was way too late to learn
So hold it against me
I deserve to take the blame
There's nothing I would not do
If it means clearing my name
So maybe one day I'll sleep again
I see it may not all be about me
That I might be putting more
Into this than I should
If I can realize I don't need to pay the price
Of everyone's trouble and strife
Then maybe someday I'll sleep again
Regret is a powerful substance
Try as I might I doubt I will ever clear my conscience
Who needs sleep anyway?
Hold it against me
I deserve to take the blame
There's nothing I would not do
If it means clearing my name
I've cried a million tears
And chances are I'll cry a million more
So maybe one day I'll sleep again
