the dog that cries Songtext
von gottsy

Call me what you want and twist the narrative
But I held on when it was a death wish
Echo chamber for a therapist
Did it tell you I′d regret this?
Six-hour drive, silent when you're angry
Somehow it′s my fault
I hold my breath up until you touch me
The pattern goes on

I know that you hate how you made me hurt
So I'd defend you in my head
But the dog that cries when it kills the bird
Doesn't make the bird less dead

Made it true, said you knew I′d always leave ya
Throwing tantrums in bed
But the dog that cries when it kills the bird
Doesn′t make the bird less dead
The dog that cries
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah


Think it was easy for me to leave (Huh?)
Is that a fucking joke?
I wiped your tears, kissed your stained red teeth
Blood dripping down my throat
Kept my mouth shut, held your demons
I was all nerves, wasn't sleeping
Know you wish you weren′t the reason
That part of me's gone

I know that you hate how you made me hurt
So I′d defend you in my head
But the dog that cries when it kills the bird
Doesn't make the bird less dead

Made it true, said you knew I′d always leave ya
Throwing tantrums in bed
But the dog that cries when it kills the bird
Doesn't make the bird less dead
The dog that cries
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

The dog that cries
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah


Kept my mouth shut, held your demons
I was all nerves, wasn't sleeping
Laid my neck out, dug your teeth in
Filling your cup when I′m bleeding
Kept my mouth shut, held your demons
I was all nerves, wasn′t sleeping
Laid my neck out, dug your teeth in
