The Regret - Martus - original videosong

with a curious look
taste the sweet bitterness of the fruit of forgiveness

what have i done?
trampled over your tiled floor with my muddy feet
what have i done?
i need more grace than i thought

with every opportunity before me
i threw it all away for a taste

what have i done?
brought imperfection where it had never been before
what have i done?
there's nothing i could ever do to pay you back

oh, God
i'll never forget what i've done
looming over my head like some neon sign
for all to see that i'm the one they should hate
i'm the one to blame for all of this
because it was perfect in every possible, plausible way
i threw it all
i threw it all away
for what? for a taste?
i threw it all away for a taste.

my heart is in my stomach
my tongue tied up in knots
i've ruined it for everyone
with each small step i take
past the path of right
i don't know what i'm thinking
i just know who i should be asking for
to make it right again
to make things the way they're supposed to be
oh, my God
i'm sorry for these mistakes i have made
i've ruined it for everyone
everyone to come
everyone, everyone, everyone

but you've lit this
let the fire burn
extinguish
it can never grow back
but you've lit this
let the fire burn
extinguish
i can never go back

what have i done?
torn apart these pages no one will ever read
what have i done?
i'll always know what it's like to be alone
what have i done?
the first and only failure you've ever faced
what have i done?
i'm sorry Lord, i'm sorry!
please, take me home.
