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
