[Verse 1]
I know you'll never see this
But it's not for you, it's for me
I've been keeping myself together
Ever since you made the choice to leave
Now I can't say it was easy
But it started to feel like the best part
Nothing left to do but start over
My only light has left me in the dark
[Chorus]
Your regrets, around your neck
I can finally breathe since you left
You'll never erase this
You have so many faces
But I know you live for the attention, don't mention my name
You can't escape the past
I'm the one who's laughing last
[Verse 2]
See, you didn't take away the colors
Out of the eyes of everyone I know
Block out the sun, you couldn't manage
Or pull me down in the undertow
I wasn't too late to lose my pride
This has been a work of heart
You'll never move, or break the cycle
So, what's another life ripped apart?
[Chorus]
Your regrets, around your neck
I can finally breathe since you left
You'll never erase this
You have so many faces
But I know you live for the attention, don't mention my name
You can't escape the past
I'm the one who's laughing last
[Bridge]
I hope that this gets hard to swallow
That I'm leaving you far behind
Let's just call it what it is, darling
That we were blind to the caution signs
I never knew the air could taste this sweet
Never thought I'd find peace so easily
Did the worst in me bring out the best in you?
[Chorus]
Your regrets, around your neck
I can finally breathe since you left
You'll never erase this
You have so many faces
But I know you live for the attention, don't mention my name
You can't escape the past
I'm the one who's laughing last
