You look at me with all the regret in the world
Swimming in your eyes
I gulp it down
But, you know, it all comes back with stinging sourness
Did you believe me when I said that I didnt mean
To raise your hopes and then disappear
Or did you just smile because you believe
Youre past the point of safe return, anyway
I never meant to make you sorry for loving me
I never meant to make you sorry
You hardly pretend to notice Im even there
And I dont know if thats really right
You push it aside
But, you know, it only appears to go in deeper
And is it true you believe what I said wasnt real
That it was only a silly game
That just seems easier to believe
When youre past the point of safe return, anyway
Im so sorry you were hurt
And I guess I cant say enough
Its no fun when you feel burned
But I guess it was hard for me to believe
You should have tried harder to make me see
Ah, hell, it got so hard for us to see
Past the point of safe return, anyway
You could have had it how you wanted
But instead it tumbled down
Could have made us into something
But instead I made you sorry
Could have let me hear it someday
In the time that I was around
But you wanted me to pretend
Then I didnt want it anymore, anyway
