My Dog Died
[Intro]
Jesus Christ, someone hold me
Is it a burden to know me?
[Verse 1]
My dog died on a Saturday night
While my friends got crossed at a club
He was wrapped up in plastic
Gone just like that
And my dad cried, cursed at the wind
I slept in a park in his old sedan
Where a stranger cared more than my best friend
She fed me from the palm of her hand
To try and make up for my dog being dead
[Chorus]
I'm in the back while my friend's riding shotgun
Do they notice I'm not saying a word, so
Tell me, tell me you need me
Is it a burden to know me?
I'm in the back while my friend's riding shotgun
Do they notice I'm not saying a word, so
Tell me, tell me you need me
Jesus Christ, someone hold me
Is it a burden to know me?
[Verse 2]
If I show up late to the party will they even notice I'm missing?
Do they laugh this hard when they're with me?
When I speak, do they really listen?
Ambivalence is hatred
Second best is lame so tell me
That I am your favorite
[Chorus]
I'm in the back while my friend's riding shotgun
Do they notice I'm not saying a word, so
Tell me, tell me you need me
Is it a burden to know me?
I'm in the back while my friend's riding shotgun
Do they notice I'm not saying a word, so
Tell me, tell me you need me
Jesus Christ, someone hold me
Is it a burden to know me?
