Ain't No Fire Like Regret
A Country Song about Guilt, Loss, and the Weight of What You Can't Undo.
by manyface music
Ain’t No Fire Like Regret came from sitting in the aftermath.
When there’s no one left to argue with. No way to change what already happened.
Just you…and the weight of it.
This song leans into that feeling.
The kind that burns fast then lingers.
It’s about owning your part of what happened, and learning to live with that.
"Boy, thinks he's seen the dark...he ain't seen nothin' yet. Cuz you ain't seen Hell, you don't know fire - 'til you know regret."

Ain't No Fire Like Regret Lyrics - Manyface Music
[Verse 1]
I lit that match myself y’know -
watched her shadow leave the door.
Poured two drinks, and broke one glass…
Then didn’t sweep the floor.
Now the bottles preach - just like a prayer,
And silence - like we just met.
So I sit here with this cigarette -
And think of how - there ain’t no fire like regret.
[Chorus]
Boy, thinks he’s seen the dark…
He ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Cuz you ain’t seen Hell,
You don’t know fire -
‘Til you know regret.
No, there ain’t no dark that compares -
To The Devil’s silhouette.
The preacher swears a man can change -
But I ain’t changed just yet.
My sins still fit like Sunday boots…
And there ain’t no fire like regret.
[Verse 2]
Ain’t been inside that chapel since -
The day she told me lies.
The music played, the people cried -
As I looked into those eyes.
Now I pass that steeple every week -
But I can’t face God yet.
So I hang my head, pull that brim down low -
And keep tryin’ to forget.
[Chorus]
Boy, thinks he’s seen the dark…
He ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Cuz you ain’t seen Hell,
You don’t know fire -
‘Til you know regret.
No, there ain’t no dark that compares -
To the Devil’s silhouette.
The preacher swears a man can change -
But I ain’t changed just yet.
My sins still fit like Sunday boots…
And there ain’t no fire like regret.
[Refrain]
Fire like regret.
[Outro]
Now the smoke curls up like scripture -
From where her and I first met.
Just embers where a flame once was…
And I ain’t been saved yet.
Breathe that ash in.
No, Ain’t no fire on this Earth, burns quite like this…
Regret!
