Robbie Williams - "No Regrets."

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 doing fine

I know from the outside
We looked good for each other (some people said)
Felt things we’re going wrong
When you didn’t like my mother (it was all in my 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
I'd feel sorry for us instead

Remember the photographs, insane
The one where we all laughed, so lame
We were having 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
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing 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, every time you smiled
I felt so vacant and you treat me like a child

I love the way we used to laugh, 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 that we once had is officially... dead.
