Lyrics
Lonely Dog
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You should get away from me
I'll just bring you down
I'm in a corner crying
Like a lonely dog
I tried and I tried
I can't stay up
So go out and be somebody
I'll just make you sad
Worse yet you'll feel helpless
With the sickness I have
I don't care about philosophy
Even if it's right
I end up back here
No matter what they say
I'm in my own way
The rest doesn't exist
You should get away from me
I'll just bring you down
I'm in a corner crying
Like a lonely dog
