[Verse 1] Your bowl's still by the door Little blue chips in the floor I still reach for your leash Like you're waiting there for me You chased that yellow ball Through the mud and the fall Now the yard feels too wide Since you left my side [Pre-Chorus] I hear tags in my head On the hardwood, again And my hands close tight On a memory at night [Chorus] I cry, I cry For my best friend I cry, I cry 'Til it hurts again Your pawprints fade But you don't You don't You don't go away [Verse 2] There's fur on the couch And a dent in the ground Where you used to curl up When the thunder got loud I talk to your name Like you might answer back And the empty yard Hits me hard, hard, hard [Pre-Chorus] I hear tags in my head On the hardwood, again And my hands close tight On a memory at night [Chorus] I cry, I cry For my best friend I cry, I cry 'Til it hurts again Your pawprints fade But you don't You don't You don't go away [Bridge] If love had a shape It was small and warm Sleeping by my feet Storm after storm So I'll hold that ache Like a photoset A little bit broke But I won't forget [Final Chorus] I cry, I cry For my best friend I cry, I cry 'Til it hurts again Your pawprints fade But you don't You don't You don't go away I cry, I cry And I let it show You were my good boy And I need you to know
