Rover

Tears fall down of love and emotion,
This is what I've gotten for all my devotion.
In the past few weeks I've become posessed,
I've experienced so much, and have become depressed.
You say the three words you think I want to hear.
I'm tired of hearing them said by someone I fear.
Scared, yes, I'm terrified of you.
You cut me so deep, I feel like we're through.
But really we're not, 'cause it can't be over.
Forever I'm faithful, yours truly, Rover.

I'm tired of being your faithful dog,
Which is how I feel treated, can you see through the fog?
Can you see me at night crying alone in the dark?
Whispering your name to myself, surrendering what's left of my heart?
I've been stabbed so deep, time and time again,
And you played me a fool, just as I thought I'd found a friend.
Your words seem so empty, unkind, and cruel,
And still I roll over, faithful dog, and drool.
Always yours, I say over and over,
Forever I'm faithful, yours truly, Rover.

I wish you could see why I hide in the corners.
I stick to the shadows with all the other mourners.
But they're morning death and I'm mourning love.
Which seems kind of sad, like killing a dove.
Things that make me weak don't make me stronger,
I want to stay in the dark a while longer.
I want you to say you love me the way you used to do,
I'd have married that fella, and you'd have married me too.
But pretending only makes me feel strife,
I can't pretend to want this life.
But you throw a frisbee, and it's all over,
Forever I'm faithful, yours truly, Rover.

Will this still be happening in five more years?
Will I still be drowning in a pool of my tears?
I don't understand how this can still go on.
But still I am with you because I love you, your faithful dog.
I wish I could see you the way that you were,
But you've changed so much, you've become a monster.
I wish you could understand the way that I feel.
Just used and abused, wishing for something real.
I want you to look at me with that sparkle in your eyes,
That little sparkle that made me stop to realize,
I know you love me, I know that you care,
But the only expression I've seen is a blank stare.
You no longer are happy with who I am,
Or know why I love you, or try to understand.
I think that you hate me, sometimes over and over,
But forever I'm faithful, yours truly, Rover.

Do you really believe that you want me to stay?
Or that you like my personality this way?
Do you really believe you like my body now?
Or in a few days will you call me a fat cow?
I don't understand how you can change so fast.
It was only last week you were being an ass.
Why am I still here? I still wonder over and over...
Oh yes that's right,your's truly, Rover.
