Nightlab - Regret lyrics

Well, I look to you I looked in s** But this is life without context It's taken its toll It daily increases I'm paying to drive but I'm stopped by police They ask "What is your name, son? Where are you from?" But if I knew that, I wouldn't even have come Down near crumbling highways I would've just stayed For down with the day But I'm looking at regret either way (Oh, oh) Looking at regret either way (Ooh, ooh) Well, our names are written on the buildings downtown Designed and constructed with the love we found But I quickly confused the king and the slave Well, I pulled out your feathers and I cried with shame So I raise this city I burn it down But ain't no one lived here for a thousand years now You don't know what to say But you can't turn away You shouldn't have stayed But you're looking at regret either way (Oh, oh) Looking at regret either way (Ooh, ooh) Well it's been some time since I could tell The difference between the sound of a bell And the bell itself Oh, but that ain't my future Just ‘cause you got noble thoughts Don't mean you can change nature So, I dance on ruins I tear down the halls ‘Cause that love that I gave you That wasn't love at all The skies change It's startin' to rain I'd ask you to stay But I (Oh, oh) Looking at regret either way (Oh, oh) Looking at regret either way (Oh, oh) Looking at regret either way (Oh, oh) Looking at regret either way (Oh)
