Lyrics

He doesn’t care if I’m a mess
Worn-out shirt and morning breath
He sits beside me anyway
Like I’m still magic
On my worst day

He greets me
Like I’ve been to war
Even when I just went to the store
Eyes so sure
Heart so wide
Like I’m the best thing alive

They say you’re just a dog
But they don’t see
You were the only one
Who never questioned me
You didn’t ask for something new
You loved the cracks
The ugly too
No fancy words
No need to call
You were the safest place of all

You didn’t flinch
At all my flaws
Just stretched and sighed
With gentle paws
Your eyes said more than people do
Like: “I don’t need perfect, I need you.”

You don’t care who I try to be
You just stay
Faithfully
When I get lost inside my head
You bring me back
With walks instead

They say you’re just a dog
But I knew
You held my soul
When no one knew
What to do
You didn’t ask
For something new
You loved the cracks
The ugly too
No medals won
No throne
No wall
Just paws
And you
Who caught it all

You gave me space
And never kept track
No punishment for what I lack
You didn’t care what came before
You curled up close
And asked no more

They say you’re just a dog
But I know
You stayed through highs
You stayed through low
You didn’t fix me
Didn’t try
But loved me true
Without a why
