The Dog Lyrics

You have those colorful nails

They shine across a room

They glow like diamonds in the light

I tried my best to stay aloat

I got lost in conversation

And I'm drowing in my lifeboat

How many times have I told you

Told you not to go?

And how many times have I told you

You can't be alone

You would give it all away

For a shot at something else

For a temporary change

I was next in your lineup

Of people you would choose

To sing your peaceful lullaby

And I would never ever let you go

But I'm losing it, I'm losing you

I tried my best to stay afloat but I

I told you I knew better, and I

Told you you were better off in here

Now you're all alone

And theres no one at your door

And you saw me on the road

But you looked away

And my parents waved at you

They dont like the things you do

But I cant help but think

They dont see you the same way
