[Verse 1]
Regret sits heavy in your chest
Until sometimes it gets so hard to breathe
Sometimes it just won't go away
And you start to feel it'll never leave

[Verse 2]
And when you think back on those times
It seems so close, just beyond your reach
But the past vanishes like smoke
From a cigarette in the night breeze

[Chorus]
Please stop this pain, hurt for so long
Pain, hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long

[Verse 3]
How is it that things turned out this way?
What you hold most dear has come and gone
Since the time that everything was right
And now it just feels wrong, oh so wrong

[Verse 4]
And you're still dreaming of the time
When the day will come, it was meant to be
And you're still dreaming of a way
To reach that place that you've never been
[Chorus]
Please stop this pain, hurt for so long
Pain, hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long

[Outro]
Pain, hurt for so long
Pain, hurt for so long
Pain, hurt for so long
Pain, hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long
