I follow your trail wherever you go
I chase your reflection from years ago
I remember all tricks you tought me once
Sit, paw, play dead, dance
You raised a stray pup on your own chest
Allowed in your home, allowed me to rest
I bared my teeth when you asked me to
I'd smooth fur on my neck if told so too
But you could never love such broken pup
For all of your care, I've never cought up
With what you hoped for me to achieve
My rotten heart forever will grieve
My canine mind still searches you
The words you've spoken are to me true
You are my faith, what I trusted whole
Yet you left with all the memories you stole
I howl at night when I loose the trail
A familiar feeling to be tossed while frail
I wonder if you could ever love a stray
I wonder if there's something that would make you stay
I sink my teeth in the scut of mine
All that chase is a waste of time
A mongrel could never be a reason to stay
I'm sorry it's my fault for going astray
