Figures in Fiction - A Failure of a Friend Lyrics

Would it be alright if we talked again?
I miss the moments when we could call each other friends; now we never call at all
I know I haven't been the best at putting in the effort, but would you mind if I tried this one time?

I'd understand if you can't
I promise I'd understand
Just let me know when I can

I tore up every note I wrote you and threw it away before you could see
I'm guilty of turning away when you needed me
I told you I wanted my space, but all you needed was company
Would you have me back?
Could you even take me back?

I'd understand if you can't
I promise I'd understand
Just let me know when you can

My apologies get stuck behind clenched teeth
I'm tasting blood from biting my cheek, choking on your stares and your pleas
You deserve more than me
You deserve more than a cheat who takes everything from you and spits down at your feet
