(Deep breath...) You ever love people... Even when they make you hate yourself... [Verse 1] Sandro... I still think you're one of the sweetest souls I've ever met You make people laugh You make people feel welcome But every time he speaks... You follow I swear if we were talking... Just me and you... You'd actually see me You'd see... I'm not the villain... I'm just... Hurting... ... [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I'm the dog... Maybe I'm the fool... Maybe going back... Was the worst thing I could do... But friends... Don't keep kicking someone... Already lying on the floor... [CHORUS] I NEVER SAID I WAS PERFECT!! I NEVER SAID I GOT IT RIGHT!! I JUST WANTED PEOPLE... Who'd stay beside me... When I couldn't win the fight!! You call me a dog... You laugh... You point... You judge... But none of you... Ever asked... WHY... [Verse 2] Sunan... God... You argue with the sky if it turned blue You'd tell the ocean... It isn't wet... Just so... You could say you won And somehow... Everybody cheers I used to think... That confidence was strength Now... I think it's just noise ... Still... I know underneath it all... There's someone... Who's scared of ever being wrong... [Pre-Chorus] You think you're winning... Every conversation... While I'm just begging... For one ounce... Of compassion... [CHORUS] I NEVER SAID I WAS PERFECT!! I NEVER SAID I GOT IT RIGHT!! I JUST WANTED PEOPLE... Who'd stay beside me... When I couldn't win the fight!! You call me a dog... You laugh... You point... You judge... But none of you... Ever asked... WHY... [Bridge] Jimmy... I thought... You actually liked me... Then came Crag Hack... Out on that stupid rock... After we nearly died... Fighting zombies... I almost didn't make it home... And somehow... I still worried... About you... ... Then came Jenova... Once... Twice... Brother... She's probably cursed you... ... And even after everything... I still understand... The empty feeling... Missing your parents... Wondering... If you're enough... Trust me... I know that darkness... My father... Never came home from war... So don't tell me... I don't understand... [BUILD] I KNOW PAIN!! I KNOW LOSS!! I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE... TO FEEL... LIKE... YOU'LL NEVER BE ENOUGH!! [FINAL CHORUS] SO GO AHEAD!! CALL ME THE DOG!! CALL ME THE FOOL!! CALL ME WHATEVER MAKES YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT!! Because one day... You'll remember... The girl... Who still cared... Even after... You broke her... ... And maybe then... You'll finally see... I NEVER STOPPED... TRYING... TO BE... YOUR FRIEND... [Outro] I still hope... One day... The boys... Remember... Who I really was... I never stopped loving my friends...
