Labyrinth of Regret

Tell me your story I can tell by the look in your eyes That you are hiding pain You should know by now That pride destroys happiness Perhaps it is the guilt and the shame That paints the fake smile on your face To cover up the mistakes of yesterdays The past cannot be changed Compliments are fleeting and so is praise Adoration and attention will distract you From the things in your life that need to change Pleasure makes it easy to get carried away But to move forward in life You have to find the exit in the labyrinth of regrets This is what traps people into playing mind games You know that you’re in a self destruct mode When you don’t trust yourself That is what makes it hard To have faith in someone else If you’re always testing waters You get stuck in the shallow end When memories of the past failings Come flooding back Do you feel inspired to reinvent yourself? To love and to be loved is purpose of being a man Aren’t you tired of pretending that you’re perfect? We are all flawed and all lives have an end Be happy and live your life while you can
