The Black Dog
I am someone who until recent events
- I am someone who until recent events
- You shared your secrets with
- And your location
- You forgot to turn it off
- And so I watch as you walk
- Into some bar called The Black Dog
- And pierce new holes in my heart
- You forgot to turn it off
- And it hits me
- I just don't understand
- How you don't miss me
- In The Black Dog
- When someone plays 'The Starting Line' and you jump up
- But she's too young to know this song
- That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming
- Old habits die screaming
- I move through the world with the heartbroken
- My longings stay unspoken
- And I may never open up the way I did for you
- And all of those best laid plans
- You said I needed a brave man
- Then proceeded to play him
- Until I believed it too
- And it kills me
- I just don't understand
- How you don't miss me
- In the shower
- And remember
- How my rain-soaked body was shaking
- Do you hate me
- Was it hazing
- For a cruel fraternity I pledged
- And I still mean it
- Old habits die screaming
- Six weeks of breathing clean air
- I still miss the smoke
- Were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke
- Now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes
- And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons
- Even if I die screaming
- And I hope you hear it
- And I hope it mess me
- In The Black Dog
- When someone plays The Starting Line and you jump up
- But she's too young to know this song
- That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of our dreaming
- 'Cause tail between your legs you're leaving
- And I still can't believe it
- 'Cause old habits die screaming
