Lets just play pretend,
Show me things the way they should've been,
Tell me you love me; tell me you care,
Do you even realize, your feelings aren't really there?
Use me, abuse me
Make me feel like the dog I am...
You play with me today,
Then throw me away,
I'm the toy everyone yearns for,
Do you even know, how much I seem to pour?
Use me, abuse me
Make me feel like the dog I am...
I take more than I should,
I give more than I would,
I love you, tho I don't know why;
You only make me want to cry.
You say you know me, swear you do,
But can you really say I love you?
Use me, abuse me
Make me feel like the dog I am...
Inside my heart weeps,
You it wants to keep,
But I lock myself away,
Do you even know, that I suffer more each day?
Use me, abuse me
Make me feel like the dog I am...
I'm not afraid to be myself,
Not afraid to be someone else,
Just your prospective makes me see,
The way everyone wants me to be.
Use me, abuse me
Make me feel like the dog I am...
I never thought in a million years,
I'd shed so many tears,
After being pushed and shoved around;
Don't you see me laying on the ground?
In the spot you made for me,
Like it's my destiny.
Use me, abuse me
Make me feel like the dog I am...
.. The dog I am...
