Putting the Dog to Sleep Songtext

von The Antlers

Prove to me I'm not gonna die alone.
Put your arm around my collarbone
And open the door.

Don't lie to me if you're putting the dog to sleep
That pet you just couldn't keep
And couldn't afford.

Well prove to me I'm not gonna die alone.
Unstitch that shed-off soul
To close up the hole that tore through my skin.

Well my trust in you is a dog with a broken leg
Tendons too torn to beg for you to let me back in.

You said, "I can't prove to you you're not gonna die alone
But trust me to take you home
To clean up that blood all over your paws.

You can't keep running out
Kicking yourself off the bed
Kicking yourself in the head
Because you're kicking me too."
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone.
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone… I don't think so...
