the beekeeper.

putting the dog to sleep.

prove to me
i'm not gonna die alone.
put your arm round my collar bone
and open the door.

don't lie to me.
if you're putting the dog to sleep,
that pet you just couldn't keep
and couldn't afford.

prove to me
i'm not gonna die alone.
unstitch that shit i've sewn
to close up the hole
you tore through my skin.

well my trust in you
is a dog with a broken leg
tendons too torn to beg
for you to let me back in.

you said, "i can't prove to you
that you're not gonna die alone,
but trust me to take you home
to clean up that blood
all over your paws.
you can't keep running out,
kicking yourself off the bed,
kicking yourself in the head,
because you're kicking me, too."

put your trust in me;
i'm not gonna die alone.
put your trust in me;
i'm not gonna die alone.
i don't think so.
put your trust in me;
i'm not gonna die alone.
put your trust in me;
i'm not gonna die alone.
i don't think so.
