Jacob Killed a Cat

(I wanna remember this) On a school night deep in Denburn I watched Jacob kill a little cat While his brother's friends recorded it They put him on their shoulders And cheered him back to his mother's house And I stayed back and buried it At a party pity invite, I wandered to the living room Where I saw him on the phone with his dad Their family dog had cancer, she starred in every Christmas card I could see in his eyes she was dead And ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, We spend all our time proving to no one we don't cry If no one sees it, then it never happened Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, I turned and walked out But God, I would cry with him now, God I would cry with him now Used to get texts on holidays from Thomas on his dad's phone With a bible quote to save me from hell Door to door we went selling Christmas wreaths to our neighbours To prove who's the better boy scout His dad was our troop leader, and he never smiled at his son And he hated when I hugged him goodbye The last time I saw Thomas, he said his dad was blocking my number, But he never said why And he turned before he started to cry And ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, We spend all our time proving to no one we don't cry If no one sees it, then it never happened Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, Thomas moved out of town And God, I just cry for him now, gotta just cry for him now
