Fiona Apple - Regret Lyrics

~❤❤❤~

Member when we argued on the concept of regret?
You were an expert even then but not me, not yet
Now all you gotta do's remind me that we met
And there ya got me, that's how you got me, taught me to regret

'Member how I asked you why are you so mean?
You didn't know how to yet to bein' seen
I tried to be your friend, you made me seem so ?
And there ya got me, that's how you got me, ya taught me to be mean

I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

Oh I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

'Member when I was so sick and you didn't believe me?
Then you got sick too and guess who took care of you?
You hated that, didn't you, didn't you?
Now when you look at me, you're condemned to see
The monster your mother made you to be
And there ya got me, that's how you got free, you got rid of me

And now I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

Oh I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

Alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Alone

My ex and I used Fiona as one of our first bonding moments. Neither of us had any idea the other person loved her, and so it only makes sense that this song and many others of hers tangent to him.

Te extraño fiona volvé

Lyrics

Member when we argued 
O'er the concept of regret?
You were an expert 
Even then but not me, 
Not yet
Now all you gotta do's 
Remind me that we met
And there - 
You got me - 
That's how you got me - 
You taught me to regret

Member how I asked you 
Why are you so mean
You didn't know how to 
React to being seen
I tried to be your friend, 
You made me shamed 
So I'm getting e'en
And there - 
You got me - 
That's how you got me - 
You taught me to be mean

But I ran out of 
White doves' feathers
To soak up the hot piss 
That comes from your mouth
Every time you address me
But I ran out of 
White doves' feathers
To soak up the hot piss 
That comes from your mouth
Every time you address me

Member when I was so sick 
And you didn't believe me?
Then you got sick too and 
Guess who took care of you?
You hated that, 
Didn't you? 
Didn't you?
Now when you look at me, 
You're condemned to see
The monster your mother 
Made you to be
And there - 
You got me - 
That's how you got free
You got rid of me

But I ran out of 
White doves' feathers
To soak up the hot piss 
That comes from your mouth
Every time you address me
But I ran out of 
White doves' feathers
To soak up the hot piss 
That comes from your mouth
Every time you address me

Alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, 
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, 
Leave me alone
Alone

'Member when we argued o'er the concept of regret?

Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Alone

FUCK this is heavy. When it comes up on up the album I have to skip it. It's just too intense and painful.

you are just a pig inside a human body


do you want me to suicide?
is this your goal?
tell me.

Who's here from Julia's playlist of her life? <3 beautiful

You didn't know how to react to being seen. None of us do Fiona but a more astute, succinct observation regarding relationships won't be written.
thank you Fiona

'Member when we argued on the concept of regret?

And there you got me, that's how you got me, you taught me to be mean

I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes from your mouth

Oh well... I ran out of white dove feathers

She doesn't mince words...even insulting his mother a bit, "Now when you look at me, your condemned to see, the monster your mother made you be." I love it. You tell him, Fiona.

Fiona apple only knows if we will live happy ever after or I stay alone

Music like rain with mad thunders.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fiona, one day could we sit and would you help me writing the book?
I would like to have a page of poetry in every chapter begin.

I am not a monster
a narrative about how a dream ended in a nightmare

That Is my problem.:(

58 years old  and I will settle for nothing than our hearts connecting fully.

All I ever wanted out of this life before I died was to meet a soul mate.

For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. "And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed'... Genesis Chapter 2:  Verse 24 and 25.

Again, I just ask you Fiona, as a respectfull musician, stay at my side when I start with a sue against "mother monster"
Because "god of sexual desire" isnt the way I planned my life to be recognisable to the eternity, to be honest.
So, let's be honest, there's no way in this life that this would happen, believe me.
If you do care about me, as that fucking parade with the hippie girl going out and picking a child, stay at my side and say "yes", is about him all these shit.

if one day I planned to be a star, today is more than far away in space.

and yes, I am declaring total war.
and if any jew is against it, it's my fucking life we're talking about.
Stefani better start preparing her payment.

You are in control of your Soul.

Your mind and body must work together.  When it hurts, that means get away from the hurt. However some people have been in situations that they cannot get away and live there own lives, that is one of the worst scenarios to deal with when something or someone like a father, wife or someone you trust is a narcissist, there are may others like gold diggers, people that lie and wait for the victim and lay a trap for them.  God hates them.

I have successfully reduced my lucid dreams.  In an effort to understand the root cause of these subconscious thinkings; I realized that while I was asleep my body was trying to repair itself naturally, to face those bad events experience them again. but the best way to get through them is to accept the fact that your mind body is just digesting the thoughts and feelings of hurt rejection, wrongfully acused, axious.

Does that make since?

Shes a goddess queen so raw and theres no one like her.

What I do is block  dark forces  and let me still live my life here on this earth.  I have dreams of the future that I can see the good in my future, and trying to close out the past. Jeff.:)

Mistakes are proof that you are still trying in life:)

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

We all have regrets, the key is to hold only lightly to the past and let go of if every time you can.:)

I love the ominous mechanical drone that underlays the instrumentation.

Regret ?yes

House the household..Home the homeless..Ludwig Van Beethoven..She's not the dumbest..

female tom waits... or he is a male fiona apple

psychotherapute ! Yeah

the piano has been drinking.... ;)

Fiona is a force to be reckoned with. She puts her heart and soul into all of her masterpices. That's why it takes her so long to come out with an album. I was fortunate to see her in concert, absolutely amazing!!!

Ahhhhhh....why I love her.

There you got me, that's how you got me, you taught me to regret.

She's so amazing I'm convinced she's not real.. too fucking unrealistic. 🤔She touches my entire being. 😍😳

'To soak up the hot piss every time you address me'. REALLY!!! Who can form that common thought into words???

The genius divergent.... can't get enough of them!

girl dated a lot of duds by the sound of it

I feel like she is talking about me an I will leave him alone

Her writing is incredible, all the layers and written so melodically perfect as far as using words so precise and just spat out so eloquently. I was going through some bad shit and I heard this song and I just broke, it's like we were going through the same thing. It was everything I would have written.

These notes are speaking to my soul.

little rasp a little age and couldn't be any more sexy, and certainly any less!

this is just like... sad resign and frustration, mixed with intense quiet anger, mixed with nostalgia, mixed with painful ache of loss, in a confusing powerful blend.

I've listened to a ton of music, and I can honestly say that Fiona Apple is one of the best song writers of her generation. It doesn't hurt that she's an excellent piano player with a powerful voice. She never gets the credit she deserves for her writing capabilities.

This is one of the most emotional and powerful songs I've ever heard. Not gonna lie.

People who accomplish what they accomplish in this world, it is not all about the success or failure of everything.  It is the same mystery about the meanings of the things that we accomplish.

Just you know, you do not always understand by understanding or not understanding me.  I am not always that comprehensible for all that.  You need to see other people as human beings and deal with who I am or what God is giving you personally if you are dealing with me personally because it is not the same approach as other people always even understand the meaning of when I am talking.  If you were becoming like me, then you would be the best at darts or something maybe.  Because I know that I get to accomplish those things...

Because she is a Grammy award winning song singer and writer, that is the only reason.

Dude, she did this on purpose sticking up for me and that is true that I did not have any problems with the lottery tickets, peace you...

Then why did I work at a liquor store, and did not have any problems with any lottery tickets?

" Scratch me out " for yourself... ?

Becoming or not becoming other people.

But still...  Why is it the same thing twice in the song?

By their fruits you will know them.  A good tree does not bear bad fruit, not does a good tree bear bad fruit, on the Ray...

You are not just lost in the dialogues of people who cover too much territory in customer service when they do customer service that way?

Dude, that you become the importance of the people you would never replace in this world?

Uma das melhores artistas que já existiu.

Sim! Fiona é a minha artista preferida! ♥

+Priscila PBN A minha também! <3 Está no meu altar junto com Florence e Lorde.

+Victor Eduardo A Florence e a Lorde são maravilhosas!

Holy shit! This song... You feel the rage dripping from her voice and steeping her words in the most genuine way.

The poetry in her music is amplified by her musicality.... there is no artist today that can do what she does.

Adele who? nobody does depressed psycho ex girlfriend better than Fiona

+Stevie GB man, you're right

she's of those smart crazy people, which in my experience create the most interesting art. plus I think getting raped at 12 years old (even though that's fucking horible) you cannt fake the blues, and she definitely isnt. sounds cliche but you really can hear alot of anguish in her delivery. fucking beuatifuly strong

God shutup

she's so much more than that... that title is way too limited for her. it annoys me when people only see that.

No that's Alanis Morrissette. Fiona Apple is a genuine artist not a phony shrill putting on an act.

Adele who? nobody does depressed psycho ex girlfriend better than Fiona

I'll say it. One of the greatest artists who ever walked the earth.

pretty damn close john.. she has that something, its both strange and familiar at the same time..mesmerizing always

@Wayne Neary
 And a true artist, an organic artist, she doesn't put out albums just for the sake of putting them out. Lord knows we fans of her know that! I used to joke it would be 2020 before the next one--now I'm not so sure I was joking!

She and Emilie Autumn

Agreed. Very under rated. They don’t even play her music on the radio anymore.

A musical genius.

heart breaking

Love it! This song made it on my Positive Psychology of Fiona Apple Podcast! You can check out all the depth and inspiration in her work at http://wesleyryan.podomatic.com/entry/2015-07-26T15_25_27-07_00

this is too real...

Fiona is just beyond...

Now I ran out of white dove feathers, to soak up the hot piss that comes from your mouth every time you address me...I'm glad she wrote that line, but I hate that for some pointless reason I actually have to know exactly what she means.

My whole life as well...too many to count.

Fiona just gets it...

Jess5451 I agree. I told my boyfriend that I would love for her to be my roommate, because I could listen to her sing/speak every day. He laughed, but I'm serious. She's wonderful and I hope she makes new music soon.

Never have I had the pleasure of listening to music as beautiful as Fiona's.

This song is the  story of my life...........................

She's so amazing that it blows my mind. The lyrics, her voice, the music. It's all perfect.
"Member when I was so sick and you didn't believe me?
Then you got sick too and guess who took care of you?" Perfect.

the passion of fiona

She'll always have work.  Even when her voice goes, she'll be able to write and compose.  She's  amazing, genius status.  

Love......................................................

Fiona, you are the only artist who could give birth to this song and express in both music and words what many women would love to express. You are a brilliant light in the dark sky.

The song itself without the ending does not fall short of anything.

It is good with just the lyrics as a song.

I do not think it needs the ending.

It becomes like a song about a contrast of dramatic and mellowdramatic.

It like almost scares me how perfectly this describes my relationship with my ex, right down to the jerk calling me a hypochondriac when I got sick then he would get it and I would wait on him hand and foot. And the you didn't know how to react to being seen. My ex was a sociopath and towards the end, I started to see mask slips and the real reptile underneath. Now he tells everyone I was this horrible person just because I saw the truth and it scared him to death. 

I hope you do not believe you are a horrible person.

@trogus02 I don't now that he's gone. Thank you.

Heaven Aden I feel you. Sociopaths are not meant to be in a relationship with anyone. They lack empathy and are manipulative. I've been there and it is scary. They feel the need to establish "normalcy" and they try to form relationships. They usually don't work out, because if a sociopath doesn't get their way or is "seen" they become more abusive and it becomes obvious to the other person that they are with a sociopath. Unfortunately, you don't always figure it out right away.

Cami this is such an accurate explanation for sociopathy. My ex husband is a textbook sociopath. The worst part is the gaslighting that these people are such experts at dishing out. It is crazy-making behavior. If he hadn’t gotten physically violent, which was a deal breaker even in my gaslit, brainwashed state, I may never have escaped. Thank you for articulating this phenomenon so well.

I can relate for the same reason

This is amazing

She is so angry, it makes me wonder the men in her life must be total assholes.

@***** not all men. Btw women can also be like that

it's not that the men are assholes. i think it's difficult for complicated, strong, intelligent women to make a man stick because there are lots of men who find themselves too close to someone who they find in time intimidates them. and when they feel intimidated, they'd rather mount your head on a mantle then learn how to keep and feed you at their own peril. just like any wild dangerously
beautiful creature!

@sparkpenguin I can totally relate to your comment. From the other side of the coin. Though I , for now, have given up. Good guys are boring. Yea it sounds good. To have a man soo close means you are vulnerable. The man is vulnerable too. It means if you make the first move, you have won. Keep and feed, i like that. It takes 2 in a relationship. The words "I love you" have a meaning. I do not throw them around. I had a girlfriend who, when i asked her why she said i love you,said because thats what you wanted to hear, I don't mean it. I understand a little of what Miss Fiona is saying. Her music is her anger.

Women behave this way too. Trust me. Change one word in this song, "Mother" to "Father", and you have my ex.

It reminds me of my sister (who was/is abusive), I feel there are too many people like this-of box sexes. 

My favorite song off the album :)    :,(....   :,/      :\      :)

Wrong too. Every track.

Wrong again: Regret, Jonathan and Left Alone.

Thanks. :-)

Love how she's been the same girl since Tidal. Full of passion, always stood her ground and never sold-out.

God i wish this wasn't like how i feel.

Wrong. Daredevil, Hot Knife and Valentine.

Wrong - Regret, Valentine, and Periphery.

I can relate completely to this song! I feel her pain.......
