My Childhood Dog
[Intro - Sample]
Participation Trophy

[Verse]
If I could tell you the truth
Just how it felt, would it even help
My innocence left in youth
Handing out trophies for just being you
I did work for it, but it's no first place
I put my hands up when I dance now
Cause I don't feel ashamed
I am working on it
And it's gonna be okay
It's so true even though
It's hard not to think of as cliche
Ain't found no dog since
Every street that I've walked in
I'd give it all for Boston
Not the city but the dog's name
I hear barking
Me with my past just
Me with my friends in my head
Just talking
I'll wait at the door wagging tails
Wagging tails
He'd wait there til I'm back again
I'll never have a friend like that again
Here I am talking to myself again, I'm just
Probably caught up in my head again
I let the screen notes sing me like a testament
Right before I'm taking my tested meds
[Bridge]
And you're flying
I remember when my innocence died and
It was when my childhood dog did
Laying by the slider door crying
Wish they never put you down

[Chorus]
And you just tell me what you want
(I remember when my innocence died and)
And I'ma be it, right there, perfect
I'll be anything for you
(It was when my childhood dog did)
And you just tell me what you want
(Laying by the slider door crying)
And I'ma be it, perfect, right there
I'll be anything for you
(Wish they never put you down)
And you're flying
(And you just tell me what you want)
I remember when my innocence died and
(And I'ma be it, perfect, right there)
(I'll be anything for you)
It was when my childhood dog did
(And you just tell me what you want)
(And I'ma be it, perfect, right there)
Laying by the slider door crying
(I'll be anything for you)
Wish they never put you down
(And you're flying)
And you just tell me what you want
(I remember when my innocence died and)
(And I'ma be it, perfect, right there)
I'll be anything for you
It was when my childhood dog did
(And you just tell me what you want)
Laying by the slider door crying
(And I'ma be it, perfect, right there)
I'll be anything for you
[Wish they never put you down]
[Outro - Sample]
Welcome back
This is gamer time
I'm gonna smash my participation trophy
Because I did not earn it
And I do not want it
Because I did not earn it
And it's plastic
