lyrics

you say you're sorry, but i can't get over it
you don't fool anyone, why don't you just admit
that you're afraid so you make a mess
and just keep me on standby
you pull me down to clean it up
then leave me with one of your lies
but you were all that i had
when i needed you to be there
it was good for just a second
before you were too cool to care

and now you're getting everything you want
but you're still getting really pissed
you're older than me
but you act like a little kid
and when i think "what could i have done
to make you want to stay?"
i come to my senses
then just go about the rest of my day
without you nagging me at my side
without you nagging me all the time
though all this is happening, i still want to be your friend!

it's just that every time i give you a ride
i get lost in these thoughts
and i'm so sick and tired
of looking for parking spots

and the dog i walk is barking a lot
for me to deal with his fears
they're problems of a kid
which he hasn't been for years

oh the dog i walk is barking a lot
for me to wash away his tears
but there's no one else to walk him
so i say, "hey, boy, come here"
