One Foot in the Grave

The saying goes
A dog can be chained to the porch and still bark at the cars
You'd never know what's going on in your companion's heart
I swear I wouldn't believe a word through her teeth
She's a troublemaker and her shoes are cheap

I remember saying "Whoa, why can't you just leave him alone?"
No I won't (some things are better left unsaid)
Keep my mouth shut I just lose control
No you don't (have it any other way)
Keep your mouth shut you're out of control
Leave him alone

The saying goes
A dog can be chained to the porch and still bark at the cars
She'd bite the hand that feeds and then she'd leave you with the scars
Please please let me repeat words an old friend once gave...
"The fastest way to her heart, is through the ribcage"

I remember saying "Whoa, why can't you just leave him alone?"
No I won't (some things are better left unsaid)
Keep my mouth shut I just lose control
No you don't (have it any other way)
Keep your mouth shut you're out of control
Leave him alone

With one foot in the grave she'd leave you
But you stay
The fear keeps you at bay
(x3)

I remember saying "Whoa, why can't you just leave him alone?"
No I won't (some things are better left unsaid)
Keep my mouth shut I just lose control
No you don't (have it any other way)
Keep your mouth shut you're out of control
Leave him alone
