VAIN REGRET - Allegra Broughton & Sam Page ©2017
Vain regret, vain regret
I don’t want to remember but I can’t forget
Those memories keep ramblin’ cross my mind
You steal my good times and my sleep
Dark, dark water that’s way too deep
Oh Lord, spare me from vain regret
Chances missed, opportunities gone
You can sit and cry when you’re all alone
It surely don’t make no difference anyhow
Butter that bread, you drop it on the floor
It’s long gone, but still you holler for more
Nothing left to eat but vain regret
Vain regret, vain regret
I don’t want to remember but I can’t forget
Those memories keep ramblin’ cross my mind
You steal my good times and my sleep
Dark, dark water that’s way too deep
Oh Lord, spare me from vain regret
You win the battle, but you lose your friends
The going’s good, it looks like it won’t end
But all good things must pass in time, they say
You’re runnin’ toward that finish line
Someone calls your name, and then you find
Nothing breaks your stride like vain regret
Vain regret, vain regret
I don’t want to remember but I can’t forget
Those memories keep ramblin’ cross my mind
You steal my good times and my sleep
Dark, dark water that’s way too deep
Oh Lord, spare me from vain regret
You steal my good times and my sleep Dark, dark water that’s way too deep
Oh Lord, spare me from vain regret Oh Lord, spare me from vain regret
Oh Lord, spare me from vain regret
