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
