[Verse 1] I was gonna start my business today Had the forms all lined in a neat little stack I was gonna file those taxes today Then I heard that drip on the hardwood crack Fifth little puddle in five damn days Mop in my hand Plans circling the drain He’s looking at me with those cloudy eyes Like “I did my best ” while I’m losing my mind again [Chorus] So it’s adult diapers for dogs That’s what the robot says Like that’s a normal phrase To be running through my head I’m stuck between mercy and mopping the floors Between loving him deeply And locking the doors Adult diapers for dogs Guess that’s where we are [Verse 2] I joke he’s not long for this house This life Then hate myself as the words leave my mouth He limps when he walks Curls tight at night Still wags that tail when the lights go out Who’s gonna take him if I give up He’s sweet but he’s sick and he smells like rain The screen says a farm would be far too hot So we’re trapped in this dance of bleach and shame [Chorus] Yeah It’s adult diapers for dogs That’s what the future holds Click “add to cart” While my coffee gets cold I’m stuck between mercy and slipping on floors Between laughing at chaos And crying some more Adult diapers for dogs Guess that’s love in a war [Bridge] What do you do When the right thing hurts When the kindest choice Tracks mud and dirt I never thought My broken heart would jog On a late-night run For diapers for a dog [Chorus] So it’s adult diapers for dogs Till his legs give out Till the vet shakes her head And we’re walking him out I’ll be here with the mop With the treats With the shame With the stupid cheap rug That will never be the same Adult diapers for dogs Is a hell of a prayer But for now he’s still here And I want him here Yeah For now he’s still here So I’ll meet him there
