Prove to me
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your arm 'round my collar bone
Open the door

Don't lie to me
If you're putting the dog to sleep
That pet you just couldn't keep
Couldn't afford

Well prove to me
I'm not gonna die alone
Unstitch that shed off soul
To close up the hole that tore through my skin

Well my trust in you
Is a dog with a broken leg
Tendons too torn to beg
For you to let me back in

You said I can't prove to you
You're not gonna die alone
But trust me to take you home
To clean up that blood all over your paws

You can't keep running out
Kicking yourself off the bed
Kicking yourself in the head
Because you're kicking me too

Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
I don't think so

Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
I don't think so

  • So raw, yet so beautiful :D

  • The background of this song sounds like the TARDIS at the beginning!

  • this song reminded him of our relationship.

    today,

    i know why.

  • The best song on Burst Apart. Followed closely by Corsicana and I Don't Want Love

  • @Capinyx You were so kind.

    Thank you very much =)

  • @Simolimx I think its about friendship but the guy singing it is depressed... i'm not really sure. I think maybe it could be related to him or his friend commiting suicide and not telling the other about it, or keeping secrets.. "don't lie to me if you're putting the dog to sleep" and its wittling their trust away because they keep things from eachother "well my trust in you, is a dog with a broken leg" and they both don't want to be alone "put your trust in me, im not gonna die alone"

  • They're playing live here in November but it's 4 hours away and I can't drive... Nobody I know likes this kind of music so I'd have to go alone too... fml!

    Still wanna go

  • this song is purely beautiful...

  • THis is like the best antlers song ever!!! i love it
