lyrics

I could sit around and pick apart
Every word I've ever said to you and
Find a few that I'd take back,
I should have left that sleeping dog just
Lying in his cage,
Softly sleeping, locked away
But once again I failed.
No surprise to anyone.

Everything I touch just turns to shit
Like an overdone Midas reference
Minus all the gold,
Subbed in with awkward online conversations.

"How's your summer been?"
I've been locked up in a cage
That my dog used to sleep in,
Till he gained higher knowledge.
Held me up with daddy's gun
"Any regrets?" he asked for show
And I said, "Yeah, only one:"

I should have put you down long ago
I should have put you down long ago
I should have put you down long ago
I should have killed you off a long, long time ago

I should have put you down a long, long time ago
I should have put you down a long, long time ago
I should have put you down a long, long time ago
I should have put you down a long, long time ago
