Sad Puppy

from Demos by Jay Kayle

	/

lyrics

She took the posters but nobody came
Nobody wanted the rules that she made
And the grooves that she wore in her fingers
They saw as fake
He got the questions that nobody asked
Wearing his burden alone like a mask
When the winds blew, he cried to the heavens
And fogged up the glass

Sad puppy don't know
His is as good as it gets

Wear your head proudly and long in the night
Just cause you're wrong, that don't mean that they're right
Stop giving love to the people who don't give it back
Don't take my word like it's all that you read
It gets harder and harder to leave things unsaid
We keep finding ways to keep moving
And ending up dead

Sad puppy don't know
His is as good as it gets

Did I put enough miles on my knees?
I never did live in a house in the trees
I'm a weak fool for wanting the comfort of fate
I didn't know what I wanted til it was too late
I should've grown oranges, I should've been loud
I should've breathed sun 'stead of counting the clouds
Trading buffalo pennies in a stranger's purse
I wasted my best years afraid of the worst
