Regret sits heavy in your chest 
Until sometimes - it gets so hard to breathe
Sometimes it just wont go away, and you start to feel it'll never leave
And when you think back on those times 
it seems so close, just beyond your reach
But the past vanishes like smoke from a cigarette in the night breeze

Please stop this pain - 
Hurt for so long
Pain - 
Hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long

How is it that things turned out this way?
What you hold most dear has come and gone
Since the time that everything was right
And now it just feels wrong, oh so wrong
And your still dreaming of the time
When the day will come, it was meant to be
And you're still dreaming of a way
To reach that place that you've never been

Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long
