My Dog Died

Jesus Christ, someone hold me
Is it a burden to know me?
My dog died on a Saturday night
While my friends got crossed at a club
He was wrapped up in plastic
Gone just like that
And my dad cried, cursed at the wind
I slept in a park in his old sedan
Where a stranger cared more than my best friend
She fed me from the palm of her hand
To try and make up for my dog being dead
I'm in the back while my friend's riding shotgun
Do they notice I'm not saying a word, so
Tell me, tell me you need me
Is it a burden to know me?
I'm in the back while my friend's riding shotgun
Do they notice I'm not saying a word, so
Tell me, tell me you need me
Jesus Christ, someone hold me
Is it a burden to know me?
If I show up late to the party will any of them
Notice I've been missing?
Do they laugh this hard when they're with me?
When I speak, do they really listen?
Ambivalence is hatred
Second best is lame so tell me
That I am your favorite
I'm in the back while my friend's riding shotgun
Do they notice I'm not saying a word, so
Tell me, tell me you need me
Is it a burden to know me?
I'm in the back while my friend's riding shotgun
Do they notice I'm not saying a word, so
Tell me, tell me you need me
Jesus Christ, someone hold me
Is it a burden to know me?
