Timeless White Lyrics

It took three gallons of paint

Just to cover all the stains

As she pushed the roller over all the patched holes and the pain

She knew some mistakes could never be erased

Seemed like he was angry from the day he was born

Arriving in this world like a storm

A heart full of fury, a soul sad and forlorn

She loved him, she fought him, now she mourns

Was it the way that she raised him, the way that nature made him,

The things she did - or didn't do

So many questions she can't get answers to

Like who he was and would have been

And what could have been if he'd just made it through

It took three long and lonely nights

The color she chose was "Timeless White"

With each brushstroke she cried and tried to make it look all right

In the end she sighed … and turned out the light
