Old Dog

Will you teach this old dog how to walk

Will you nurture her to health

And let her talk

Will you make sure she is never hurt again

Can you love her until the end

Tell her stories and allow her to be free

Teach her love should never make it hard to breathe

Hold her close with open love and be a friend

Always love her until the end

Cause she's afraid of the cold dark world

And she's afraid you will leave her for a better girl

Scars on the heart are the hardest to heal

When you don't trust

How you feel

She will tread oh so lightly on her feet

Scared to make you act

The way he used to treat her

So hold your hand out,

Touch her slow,

And don't pretend

Can you love her until the end

Cause she's afraid of the cold dark world

And she's afraid you will leave her for a better girl

Scars on the heart are the hardest to heal

When you don't trust

How you feel

Reach on out, be by her side,

And send her love

The validation that she craving from someone

Give her time and let her body make amends

Always love her

Love her until the end

Reach on out, be by her side,

And send her love

The validation that she craving from someone

Give her time and let her body make amends

Always love her

Love her until the end

Cause she's afraid of the cold dark world

And she's afraid you will leave her for a better girl

Scars on the heart are the hardest to heal

When you don't trust

How you feel
