Madilyn Paige My Regret Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did I mean it
When I said I don't care what you think about me leavin'?
'Cause I really didn't feel it
Tell me, was it selfish
To give you up for what I wanted in the moment?
I was tired of pretending we're doing okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Starting now to realize
Guilt is ruthless
'Cause the truth is

[Chorus]
I'm livin' off blame and bad excuses
Petrified, retracing all my steps
Haunted by the rumors
Shadows of the truth
Oh, I live with the ghost of my regret

[Verse 2]
Did you mean it
All the things you never said, hidden by your silent treatment?
Always scared of what you're thinkin'
Give me a reason Why staying would have even made any difference
It just felt so easy to throw it away
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought the hurt would heal with time
But guilt is ruthless
'Cause the truth is

[Chorus]
I'm livin' off blame and bad excuses
Petrified, retracing all my steps
Haunted by the rumors
Shadows of the truth
Oh, I live with the ghost of my regret

[Bridge]
Keeps me up at night
There's nowhere I can hide
Guilt is ruthless

[Chorus]
I'm livin' off blame and bad excuses
Petrified, retracing all my steps
Haunted by the rumors
Shadows of the truth
Oh, I live with the ghost of my regret
