If you saw my lyrics post, this is one of the songs I wrote. I usually play piano but I didn’t have access to it, so I used my ukulele. It’s not very good, but I love it so dearly, and thought I might share. Sorry for the quality lol
[Verse 1]
I don’t like sticking around
In the streetlights so I will dodge them
Easier being lonely than being seen
I live with my hackles raised high
Waiting for the front door to close
Hoping you will swallow the key
[Pre-chorus]
You can’t know anything
Cause if you do I might stay
You don’t know anything
Don’t move an inch, I’ll run away
[Chorus]
I’ll bite the hand, the hand that feeds me
All that I see is a hand approaching
Hands have only hurt me before
I’ll bare my teeth, don’t care I’m starving
I’ll scream until it’s early morning
I am just a dog, so close the door
I am just a dog you’ll leave for sure
[Verse 2]
To be known is to be loved
No one knows the name of the stray
that hovers around outside of your front porch
Toss me all of the scraps, remains,
the things you do not care to lose
I’ll join the things you’ve left before
[Pre-chorus]
You can’t know anything
Cause if you do I might stay
You don’t know anything
Don’t move an inch, I’ll run away
[Chorus]
I’ll bite the hand, the hand that feeds me
All that I see is a hand approaching
Hands have only hurt me before
I’ll bare my teeth, don’t care I’m starving
I’ll scream until it’s early morning
I am just a dog, so close the door
I am just a dog you’ll leave for sure
[Bridge] x2
Don’t let me in
Please don’t get close
Don’t convince me to show you my underbelly
Don’t promise warmth
Please just be mean
I don’t understand your kindness given freely
[Outro]
I don’t understand your kindness given
I can’t understand your kindness given freely
I won’t understand your kindness given freely
Don’t get too close, I will bite the hand that feeds me
