If I could make a list
Of my mistakes and regrets
I'd put your name on top
And every line after it

Because every inch of hope
Becomes a world of shame
I've had to walk through
Each and every day

And if I screamed "you were wrong"
At the top of my lungs
It would never return
All the faith that I've lost

Because there is nothing left to say
That has not been said
If I shouted, you wouldn't listen
I dought it'd even sink in

If you forget how to feel
Reach inside your chest
Is there a heart beating?
Is there just emptiness?

    General Comment:Anyone know what he is whispering during the bridge?

    I wanna take the meaning a step further and say that it is about loving someone, either romantically or platonically, who screws you over. This song is the list of things you would say to them out of anger, but you don't really mean any of them, you are just trying to hurt the person in question.

    General Comment:The beginning of this song is just to... eerie...

    Well... anyway... I believe this song is about totally regretting some person that you meet. You just... hate yourself for ever have knowing him or her, since they broke your heart so badly.
