No Regrets

No Regrets
Taken From 'I've Been Expecting You'
(Robbie Williams/Guy Chambers)
Notes: After the success of Angels, Rob felt confident enough to approach his record company and ask to work with 'The Pet Shop Boys', this song was the result.

Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not enstranged

I didn't lose my mind it was mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...

No regrets - they don't work
No regrets - they only hurt
Sing me a love song, drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

I know from the outside
We looked good for eachother
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother

I don't want to hate but that's
All you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live

No regrets - they don't work
No regrets - they only hurt
(We've been told you stay up late)
I know they're still talking
(You're far too short to carry weight)
The demons in your head
(Return the videos they're late)
If I could just stop hating you(Goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for us instead
Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast

No regrets / they don't work
No regrets / they only hurt
Write me a love song, drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

Everything I wanted to be everytime I walked away
Everytime you told me to leave I just wanted to stay
Every time you looked at me and everytime you smiled
I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often I sit down and think of you, for a while
Then it passes by me and I think of someone else instead
I guess the love we once had is officially dead
