Deep Regret

The streets run cold.
The sun has set down.
The skyline fades to black.
He watches in wind blow.

He puts on a pleasing mask.
He seemingly is fine,
but deep in his chest lie feelings like
sadness untold.

He says,
"I can't believe my eyes no more! No more!"

CHORUS:
Back in an alley of deepened regret there is a man.
There is a man who thinks he's failed
but I can't help myself from wondering why
cause here I am. Cause here I am,
    
but his cheeks are wet!
But his cheeks are wet,
with deep regret!

His car is old;
running, just barely running.
But that just won't bother him,
he deals with what he's dealt.

With daylight he dreams of peace;
a vision of grandeur!

He says,
"I just can't run this race no more! no more!"

CHORUS

With all my heart I say to him, "I didn't do so well."
"But to me you won," he says to me, "you rose each time you fell."

If they could only see the giant; see the wisdom;
live the shadow he has made!
Each step I take for him to live up to his name.
If I prove my worth and thwart life's failures;
leave the danger! Leave the danger!
I'll prove to you that I'm no failure and he is all to blame!

CHORUS
