[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
