Voicemail

A left voicemail of an apology — no excuses, no begging: "I was wrong. That's the whole message."

Voicemail

Dana... it's me. You don't have to call back.
I kept typing and deleting, so I figured I'd just say it out loud.
I was wrong. That's the whole message. I was wrong.

[Verse]
Three drafts sitting in my phone tonight
Not one of them said it right
Your side of the bed is still made
I'm the same mess I always make

[Chorus]
Dana, I won't dress it up as a mistake (a mistake)
I knew, and I did it anyway
You don't have to answer, leave me on read (leave me on read)
I just couldn't let silence be the last thing I said

[Verse]
You asked me for honest, I gave you fine
The dog still waits by the door for a sign
I'm not here to talk my way out
I'm here to say it — I let you down

[Chorus]
Dana, I won't dress it up as a mistake (a mistake)
I knew, and I did it anyway
You don't have to answer, leave me on read (leave me on read)
I just couldn't let silence be the last thing I said

[Bridge]
(mmm, Dana)
I won't promise you I've changed
Promises are just more noise —
so I'll go quiet, and let it show

[Final Chorus]
Dana, I won't dress it up as a mistake (a mistake)
I knew, and I did it anyway
You don't have to answer — I'll still be here (I'll still be here)
I just couldn't let silence be the last thing I said

[Outro]
(mmm, Dana)
That's the whole message
