Lyrics
Winter Regrets By: Howie Askay
Lilly didn’t know that she found the reason, to leave her man who wouldn’t talk
She skimped and scraped to raise the money, to find a house just around the block
He ran a ground in 99, He took a deal that landed on the floor
Lilly said she’d stand by his side, after seven years she couldn’t take no more
Cold winters have got a way to break you, if you’ve ever seen the frost in someones eyes
For Lilly to walk away so empty hearted, she must have turned herself out from inside
She closed the door to a vision of a toxic end, and started a breath every morning to transcend
With her past in her distance she walks on high, but she can’t stop thinking of her man and watches her memories never end
(Chorus) She’s afraid to say that she’s happy
Now guilt has a funny way to make you blind, as regret pulls apart your feelings for another day
Lilly walks back to the place where she left her man, she is reminded of the familiar pathway
She opens the door to see a room full of love, and a happy man and his pregnant wife
As she walks away she comprehends her thoughts, she knows that she’s the reason for giving him that old shitty life
Now tomorrow may bring another day to me, but as long as I’m here I should be happy
