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 lockets viciously
I'm never grieving
Tender like ravens 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 am too shy to cry
You did the work and took the blame
Winning these battles
Losing the war, what did I gain?

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
Ruining our lives 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
