Whiteout

Hello - How are you?
I'll bet you didn't think I'd call
I wonder how were left with nothing
When once we had it all

You know my - Decisions
Have been bad many times before
Sometimes the first step to recovery
Is sprinting through the door

Hello - Are you out there?
The words 'I miss you' are among
The right words stuck inside my throat, but the wrong ones
Rolling off my tongue

I know - the lesson
To keep the best of what's around:
You focus on communication
Until it breaks down

I missed your call for attention
I didn't hear a call at all
I want to take those words and put them back into my head
And whiteout what I said

Hello - Are you listening?
Forgiveness is long since overdue
But then my big mouth opens up again
And the wrong words tumble through

So now - We're left with
The hope that you're willing to pretend
To forgive all the shit I've done
And the shit I'll do again
