lyrics

I tried my best to make you happy
I guess I was your favourite puppy
The one to keep you safe from harm
When all your demons made you lose your charm

I won your heart but lost my mind
I found new shores but left the map behind
I climbed your walls but fell from grace
I thought true love was not about saving face

And hey, I went through hell
There was no bottom to that well
But hey, I was a fool
I wish I’d been taught these things in school

I tried my best to make you happy
Didn’t take as much to be your puppy
I dimmed the sky so you could shine
I read your mind but never saw the sign

And hey, I went through hell
There was no bottom to that well
But hey, what a fool
I wish I’d been taught these things in school

How could you twist my sympathy like devil in disguise?
How could you sound so sincere when telling all those lies?
Our love was lost in translation, subtitles were bad
I looked for explanations, dead ends was all I ever had

I tried my best to make you happy
I guess I was your favourite puppy
I stuck by you through thick and thin
Was not prepared to take it on the chin

And hey, I went through hell
There was no bottom to that well
But hey, what a fool
I wish I’d been taught these things in school

And hey, what the heck?
That love boat’s sunk, it’s now just a wreck
But hey, what’s it to you?
You played me like a fiddle through and through

I tried my best to make you happy
Guess that’s the privilege of a puppy
No going back, you said, it’s out of the question
But going back to him was your rule’s only exception
