And people say I've changed when I know I haven't And I'll still cry when my black dog howls at that swollen paper moon A heartstring ripping song that will have no duet And so I've stitched myself in lavender And drowned my skin in water that comes from so close to the sea that my palms hold shipwrecks But I'm still that same girl who stood too close to the edge of the road just to feel the cars whip past her And I'm still that same girl who feels as though the love she is given will never truly be earned

Black Dog
And people say I've changed when I know I haven't And I'll still cry when my black dog howls at that swollen paper moon A heartstring ripping song that will have no duet And so I've stitched myself in lavender And drowned my skin in water that comes from so close to the sea that my palms hold shipwrecks But I'm still that same girl who stood too close to the edge of the road just to feel the cars whip past her And I'm still that same girl who feels as though the love she is given will never truly be earned
