[Verse]
Days are passing by
Years are running by
Drownin' in the shadows of regret
Burning from the pain I still can't take
I swear I didn't want anyone to be dead
I wish I could fix all my terrible mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody can hear my prayers
Nobody can see all my tears
I know it's too late to be sorry
I shouldn't have been set free
[Chorus]
Shadows of regret
Somethin' I can't forget
I can't break these chains
They're holding me tight
I can't heal my heart from pain
They're choking me every night
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
There's no way to run
There's no place to hide
My enemies know what I've done
What happened to that man
[Break]
They don't care what I have inside
They say I've gotta pay for the sins of my past
[Verse 2]
Someone's running wild
Someone's crying like a child
I'm tryin' so hard to atone for all my sins
Searchin' for a way to escape this hell
Bitter frost gets under my skin
As I'm trapped in the hard shell
[Pre-Chorus]
Should've never been a bad daughter
Should've always been a tough armor
Should've never been a nice servant
Should've been a good student
[Chorus]
Shadows of regret
Somethin' I can't forget
I can't break these chains
They're holding me tight
I can't heal my heart from pain
They're choking me every night
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, shadows of regret)
There's no way to run
There's no place to hide
My enemies know what I've done
What happened to that man
[Post-Chorus]
Shadows of regret
Oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
Shadows of regret
They hold all my secrets
My scars are getting deeper
As everyone keeps cursing me
As I'm standing on my knees
Praying for redemption
[Breakdown]
Oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows of regret
(Shadows of regret)
[Chorus]
Shadows of regret
(Shadows of regret)
Somethin' I can't forget
I can't break these chains
They're holding me tight
I can't heal my heart from pain
They're choking me every night
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, shadows of regret)
There's no way to run
There's no place to hide
My enemies know what I've done
What happened to that man
[Outro]
I'd give anything
To bury the memories in the ground
But the echoes chase me around
Oh, God, please forgive me...
