German Shepherd Heart

You were waiting by the front door light

Tail thumpin’ like a drum all night

I’d walk in tired, barely see

What you were givin’ me

You’d drop your toy, look up so proud

Like I hung the moon somehow

And I was there but not enough

Didn’t know that was love

Pre-Chorus

Now your footsteps don’t echo down the hall

And I’d give anything to hear that call

Chorus

I’m sorry I didn’t love you like I should’ve

You were everything and more than I ever understood

Too good to be true, and I let you be

Just a part of my world when you were all of me

If there’s somewhere you can hear me now

I’m on my knees, I’m callin’ out

I’d give it all for one more chance to prove

I know now… you were too good to be true

Verse 2

German shepherd brave, but soft inside

Belgian spark in your wild eyes

You were sunshine in a storm I made

Still you chose to stay

You were silly, runnin’ circles ‘round

Turnin’ every bad day upside down

And I was blind to what I had

Till all I had was that

Pre-Chorus

Every quiet night, every empty room

Feels like a life I never gave to you

Chorus

I’m sorry I didn’t love you like I should’ve

You were everything and more than I ever understood

Too good to be true, and I let you be

Just a part of my world when you were all of me

If there’s somewhere you can hear me now

I’m on my knees, I’m callin’ out

I’d give it all for one more chance to prove

I know now… you were too good to be true

Bridge — soft, emotional

If love don’t end, if it carries on

Past the hurt, past the gone

Then I hope somehow you see my heart

And know I’m sorry for every part

(Final Chorus — bigger, raw)

I’m sorry I didn’t love you like I should’ve

Now I’m holdin’ onto memories I never held enough of

Too good to be true, yeah that was you

And I didn’t see it like I needed to

If there’s a road that leads me back somehow

I’d run to you, I’d make it right somehow

But all I’ve got are words I never used

I know now… you were too good to be true

Outro — stripped down

Yeah you were too good…

Too good to be true…

And I’m still tryin’ to get back to you…
