[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...
