The Dogs

We started like children

Lost in the building by the wall

Hope lost to fear

And nothing was clear when we 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 our losses viciously

I'm never breathing

Tender like ribbons by the sea

This is how, how we tried

This is where, where it died

This is how, how we cried

Like the dogs left outside

I would just shirk while you did the work and took the blame

When there was battles, losing them all, what did I gain?

This is how, how we tried

And this is where, where it died

This is how, how we cried

Like the dogs left outside

These words are like sharp knives

Ruining our lives every time

Crying to our son

I was just so wrong every time

This is how, how we tried

And this is where, where it died

This is how, how we cried

Like the dogs left outside
