Ink And Regret

Intro

Verse 1

The desk is cold, the lamp is running low

The shadows dance where only shadows go

I hold this pen, a heavy wooden thing

Waiting for the song I’ll never sing

Verse 2

I write your name and then I pull away

There’s so much more that I am meant to say

But every word is like a falling stone

Sinking in a sea I’ve made my own

Chorus

Oh, it’s just the ink and the regret

The things I haven’t told you yet

I’m building bridges out of paper sheets

To find the place where empty silence meets

Verse 3

The morning light is creeping down the hall

I watch the dust against the bedroom wall

A thousand letters scattered on the floor

And still I find I’m reaching out for more

Chorus

Oh, it’s just the ink and the regret

The things I haven’t told you yet

I’m building bridges out of paper sheets

To find the place where empty silence meets

Bridge

It’s a long way down from where I stand

With a broken heart and a trembling hand

I’d give it all to hear you call my name

But the paper stays exactly just the same

Outro

Exactly just the same

Only ink and regret

Nothing to say yet

No, nothing to say
