The Dogs lyrics

[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
