Scared and Alone

[Verse 1]

Black dog, you can't know my name

You keep weighing heavy on my shame

Weary and scared to bits

They search for tomorrow to simply exist

[Verse 2]

Black dog, if I could only take it on the chin

And brush you off like you mean nothing

But you remind me every step of the way

You're going nowhere, you're here to stay

[Verse 3]

Every piece of me you take away

Every time we meet, I lose my way

I wanted to know, black dog

Could you come another day?

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]

With every sigh of relief you will be ok

You don't get any betters when you slip away

If I knew, black dog

I'd going down this way

[Verse 5]

I tried so very hard to set you aside

But I guess if I'm hurt I know I'm alive

I tried so very hard not to oblige

But I guess if you hurt I know I'm alive

[Outro]

Hey you, be on your way
