I can still hear your tears down the telephone line
With such clarity they may as well be mine
Backed into a corner I hastily withdrew
Too shocked to reason, think everything through

Don’t let it start, it’ll never end
Don’t break her heart, it’ll never mend
My only regret

One last rendezvous I could not resist
Temptation obviously could not be dismissed
To reject this would render me incomplete
I was out of control, impassioned and indiscreet

I let it start, now it’ll never end
I broke her heart, it’ll never mend
My only regret

I wrote you a message, you never wrote back
I searched for another angle of attack
Beneath your veneer I might find a crack
Alas, no luck, I’d have to change tack

I trust you’re at peace with the new love you’re found
That the scars have healed from your war wounds
I roam alone, fervently on the hunting ground
But there’s noone like you, wherever I’m bound

I let it start, I let it end
I broke your heart, mine will never mend

My only regret, my only regret

I let it start, I let it end
My life you depart, I cannot comprehend

My only regret, my only regret
