War Dog
I've tried to keep a close distance
But you left me behind.
Here I go
Walking down the street on my own
We are not the same.
Be true to me
Tell me I'm not alone
Prove to me
That you'll open the door
To let this war dog in
With his cut ears
Close up the hole
That tore through my skin
I'm a dog with a broken leg
Tendons too torn to mend.
"Trust me to take you home."
You'll put me to sleep.
I don't want to die alone.
You said you'd be there.
I won't fall in love with you this time.

With his cut ears
Close up the hole

Tendons too torn to mend.
