"Scared And Alone" lyrics

Black dog, you can't know my name
You keep weighing heavy on my shame
Weary and scared to bits
They search for tomorrow to simply exist

Black dog, if I could only take it on the chin
And brush you off like you mean nothing
But you remind me every step of the way
You're going nowhere, you're here to stay

Every piece of me you take away
Every time we meet, I lose my way

I wanted to know, black dog
Could you come another day?

With every sigh of relief you will be ok
You don't get any betters when you slip away

If I knew, black dog
I'd going down this way

I tried so very hard to set you aside
But I guess if I'm hurt I know I'm alive

I tried so very hard not to oblige
But I guess if you hurt I know I'm alive

Hey you, be on your way
