stray dogs bark too
i built a wall around my heart
at least that is what i told you
but you pushed us back to the start
and i am doing everything i used to do
so i believe we will not make it
only because you believe i can not take it
i know we are made to go our separate ways
but no one is for sure to say
i still love you and want you to be happy
and i know you will play your games
but one day i hope that you will see
that your way of life brought you shame
sure you are 17 and at the brink of living
and i am 18 and already considering my well-being
you will grow up, i surmise
but until then we'll just compromise
compromise our feelings and knowing it sucks
to be in love and things will not straighten out
we'll throw our hands up saying, "what the fuck?"
because we are frustrated and will begin to pout
but we both deserve better for each other
you - one who can raise you up above all other
me - one who can equal my strong drive
until then, we'll be "friends" while we're alive.
