I Shot My Dog

[Chorus]

I shot my dog

They burnt the church

I left my home to find my worth

I miss the friends I grew up with

They're all in jobs or they got kids

I shot my dog

They burnt the church

I left my home to find my worth

I miss the friends I grew up with

They're all in jobs or they got kids

I shot my dog

They burnt the church

I left my home to find my worth

I miss the friends I grew up with

They're all in jobs or they got kids

(I shot my dog)

(I shot my dog)

[Verse]

Life got way too hard after high school

Everything I do feels idle

I grew up and started doubting the bible

And everything they taught me

When I was young

And I don't wanna disappoint you

But I've changed like most do

My feelings on my sleeve now

I know I'm not supposed to

But after my dog died

I learned what love do

[Chorus]

I shot my dog

They burnt the church

I left my home to find my worth

I miss the friends I grew up with

They're all in jobs or they got kids

(I shot my dog)

(I shot my dog)

[Bridge: Milo Orchis]

Does it get better?

Does it get better?

This life's no fair

I wish for more

They never care

It's all a bore

I'm out and torn between the cracks

Where I hide when it gets like that

(I shot my dog)

(I shot my dog)

(I shot my dog)

(I shot my dog)

(I shot my dog)

(I shot my dog)

[Verse]

I was only 8 when he showed aggression

All my longer questions

They came without an answer

Left him at the vet and that's when I finally knew

The world turned black and white

Just like his fur was too

11 years later, I felt what he felt

The world don't understand us and I can't breathe well

All this anger in me

I feel so lonely

Cause we were one and the same

Now you're above me, damn

I'll see you in heaven

I guess I'll see you in heaven

[Outro]

Rest in peace, Noddy

I hope I find what I'm looking for
