Lyrics of Regrets by Ed Sheeran
[Intro]
Starin’ Out Ahead Again, We’re Stuck Inside A War Game
[Verse 1]
We Rinse And Repeat, But It’s Eatin’ Me Up Inside
Cold Of The Words All Day
Heat Of The Love All Night
We Trade Nothin’ Back, But We Keep Givin’ Out Our Time
Everyone In Our Lives
Instead Of Only You And I
[Pre-Chorus]
Every Day, We Feel Deflated
Tryna Roll With All The Changes
Reality With What We’ve Created
When I Find
I Can Feel The Pressure Breakin’
Everything That We’ve Been Buildin’
It Won’t Stop Until It Kills Us
Don’t Lie
[Chorus]
Starin’ Out Ahead Again, We’re Stuck Inside A War Game
Either In Love Or We’re Insane
I Guess To Want The Pleasure, Gotta Take It With The Pain
Till We’re Done, Done, We’ll Still Play The War Game
Starin’ Out Ahead Again, We’re Stuck Inside A War Game
Either In Love Or We’re Insane
I Guess To Want The Pleasure, Gotta Take It With The Pain
Till We’re Done, Done, We’ll Still Play The War Game
[Verse 2]
There’s No One Above Or Below You, You Are All I Want
But I Feel That It’s Not Enough
To Just Talk To You, My Love
Inches From Movin’ Out And Movin’ On
There’s Tension Now In What We’ve Got
But When Will The Fightin’ Stop?
[Pre-Chorus]
Every Day We Feel Deflated
Tryna Roll With All The Changes
Reality With What We’ve Created
When I Find
I Can Feel The Pressure Breakin’ (Breakin’)
Everything That We’ve Been Buildin’ ([?])
It Won’t Stop Until It Kills Us (Till It Kills Us)
Don’t Lie
[Chorus]
Starin’ Out Ahead Again, We’re Stuck Inside A War Game
Either In Love Or We’re Insane
I Guess To Want The Pleasure, Gotta Take It With The Pain
Till We’re Done, Done, We’ll Still Play The War Game
Starin’ Out Ahead Again, We’re Stuck Inside A War Game
Either In Love Or We’re Insane
I Guess To Want The Pleasure, Gotta Take It With The Pain
Till We’re Done, Done, We’ll Still Play The War Game
[Bridge]
Used To Hold My Fla-a-ame
Put Me In My Place, Yeah-yeah
Caught In This War Game, Yeah-yeah
Till We Die
Do We Leave Or Stay? Yeah-yeah
Do We Mend Or Break? Yeah-yeah
Caught In This War Game, Yeah-yeah
Till We Die
[Chorus]
Starin’ Out Ahead Again, We’re Stuck Inside A War Game
Either In Love Or We’re Insane
I Guess To Want The Pleasure, Gotta Take It With The Pain
Till We’re Done, Done, We’ll Still Play The War Game
Starin’ Out Ahead Again, We’re Stuck Inside A War Game
Either In Love Or We’re Insane
I Guess To Want The Pleasure, Gotta Take It With The Pain
Till We’re Done, Done, We’ll Still Play The War Game
[Outro]
Don’t Break On Us
Don’t Fall To Dust
Don’t Give A Love
