found a dog downstairs
locked him with the bikes
cried till he went hoarse
scratched the door to shreds
did no one tell you how
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
He'll die with no one there
locked the dog back in
turned the heater on
smelled the sour milk
felt the floor above
did no one tell you how
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
he'll die with no one there
claw cause you can't grab
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
run let the dog die
found the note upstairs
torn up in the trash
said she'd flown to Spain
special one-time fare
left with some old friend
always just a friend
claw cause you can't grab
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
run let the dog die
did no one tell you how
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
he'll die with no one there
claw cause you can't grab
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
run let the dog die
locked him with the bikes
cried till he went hoarse
scratched the door to shreds
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
He'll die with no one there
turned the heater on
smelled the sour milk
felt the floor above
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
he'll die with no one there
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
run let the dog die
torn up in the trash
said she'd flown to Spain
special one-time fare
always just a friend
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
run let the dog die
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
he'll die with no one there
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
run let the dog die
