"Stray Dog" lyrics

You lie once, I lie twice
Forget your words you know it's wise
Conveniently placed on a bar stool you let out a long sigh
You know where you come from
But you don't know why, so you

Hold me, 'cause you're not tryna be lonely
Empty, heartless eyes cutting into me

I can see you now, walking like a stray dog
Sleeping next to me, I can feel your heartbeat
Now you're closing in, moving through the grey fog, stray dog
Why'd I let you get so close to me? (Oh, no, no)
Why'd I let you get so close to me?

A girl you still love moved down to the Deep South just to lose you
Now you spend most of your time on your own drinking vermouth
You say you don't buy into all that community bullshit
So we sit in silence and damn the sunset, while you

Hold me, 'cause you're not tryna be lonely
Empty, heartless eyes cutting into me

I can see you now, walking like a stray dog
Sleeping next to me, I can feel your heartbeat
Now you're closing in, moving through the grey fog, stray dog
Why'd I let you get so close to me? (Oh, no, no)
Why'd I let you get so close to me?

Hey now, lover, ask me twice
And I might take you home tonight
Hey now, lover, tell me once
And I won't have the strength to fend you off

Hold me, 'cause you're not tryna be lonely
Empty, heartless eyes cutting into me

I can see you now, walking like a stray dog
Sleeping next to me, I can feel your heartbeat
Now you're closing in, moving through the grey fog, stray dog
Why'd I let you get so close to me? (Oh, no, no)
Why'd I let you get so close to me?
