Like a Dog

I want to be strong

I want to be free

And I would die for you

Would you die for me?

I can see it in your face

Every time we fall from grace

We just keep going through cycles, yeah

I'm living in a state I can't afford

And I've been thinking

It's probably more than I can bear

Don't wanna go insane

Or stay in my own lane

Each day a repeat it's just over and over

I may live here, but I will not die here

I refuse to live my life like a dog rolling over

And I've been keeping myself on a short chain

If I chase a feeling, will I get back a reason?

And I've been leaving myself out in the rain

There's got to be a home for me somewhere out there

I'm living in a state I can afford and I've been thinking

It's probably more than I can bear

But there's nothing I can do

My life is halfway over

I don't wanna get any older

Don't wanna go insane

Or stay in my own lane

Each day a repeat it's just over and over

I may live here, but I will not die here

I refuse to live my life like a dog rolling over

If I, If I, get back to myself

Will I, will I find

Will I find someone else?

And I'd like a break

There's too much at stake

I'm a mile away from the things I want to add to my own name

And I will shine like gold

I know I can't be told

I will rip right through your dreams, I'll find a way to never grow old

And I won't accept that shame

I'll drip the southern vein

We'll take them all together

We know that we're what matters

My friend's are full of grace

Say I love you to my face

We will not live our lives like dogs rolling over

We will not live our lives like dogs rolling over

And I wonder if you're trying to roll me over

And I wonder if you're trying to roll me over
