The Dogs

We started like children

Lost in the building by the wall

Hope lost to fear

And nothing was clear when lost it all

This is how, how we tried

This is where, where it died

This is how, how we cried

Like the dogs left outside

We were so cautious

Guarding the locksets viciously

I’m never breathing

Tender like ribbons obviously

This is how, how we tried

This is where, where it died

This is how, how we cried

Like the dogs left outside

I am too shy to cry

You gave her one kind to provoke

Even with balance

Losing the hope with you again

This is how, how we tried

This is where, where it died

This is how, how we cried

Like the dogs left outside

His words are like sharp knives

Reading on my rights every time

Crying to our son

I was just so wrong every time

This is how, how we tried

This is where, where it died

This is how, how we cried

Like the dogs left outside
