[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 1]

Found a dog downstairs

Locked him with the bikes

Cried 'til he went hoarse

Scratched the door to shreds

[Chorus]

Did no one tell you how

She'd leave you in this town

With her dog trapped downstairs?

He'll die with no one there

[Verse 2]

Locked the dog back in

Turned the heater on

Smelled the sour milk

Felt the floor above

[Chorus]

Did no one tell you how

She'd leave you in this town

With her dog trapped downstairs?

He'll die with no one there

[Post-Chorus]

Claw, 'cause you can't grab

Howl, 'cause you can't speak

Leave, 'cause you don't care

Run, let the dog die

[Bridge]

Found the note upstairs

Torn up in the trash

Said she'd flown to Spain

Special one-time fare

Left with some old friend

Always just a friend

[Post-Chorus]

Claw, 'cause you can't grab

Howl, 'cause you can't speak

Leave, 'cause you don't care

Run, let the dog die

[Chorus]

Did no one tell you how

She'd leave you in this town

With her dog trapped downstairs?

He'll die with no one there

[Post-Chorus]

Claw, 'cause you can't grab

Howl, 'cause you can't speak

Leave, 'cause you don't care

Run, let the dog die
