The Dogs

[Verse 1] We started like children Lost in the building by the wall Hope lost to fear And nothing was clear when lost it all [Chorus] This is how, how we tried This is where, where it died This is how, how we cried Like the dogs left outside [Verse 2] We were so cautious Guarding our losses viciously I’m never grieving Tender like ravens by the sea [Chorus] This is how, how we tried This is where, where it died This is how, how we cried Like the dogs left outside [Verse 3] I am too shy to cry You did the work and took the blame Winning these battles Losing the war, what did I gain? [Chorus] This is how, how we tried This is where, where it died This is how, how we cried Like the dogs left outside [Verse 4] These words are like sharp knives Ruining our lives every time Crying to our son I was just so wrong every time [Chorus] This is how, how we tried This is where, where it died This is how, how we cried Like the dogs left outside
