[Verse 1]
She was just a pup when I brought her home,
A tail wagging bright, never felt alone.
Her eyes like stars in a midnight sky,
But her flame burned out, and I can't say goodbye.
[Verse 2]
Myra, you were the best I ever knew,
But your heart turned cold, broke mine in two.
You ran with my friend, left me to bleed,
Now love's a wound that I can't seem to heed.
[Chorus]
My dog was my angel, taken too soon,
Set on fire under the light of the moon.
And Myra, you're a scar that won't fade away,
I can't stop loving you, though you betrayed.
[Verse 3]
I buried her collar under the old oak tree,
Each leaf a memory, she’s still here with me.
But your shadow lingers like a ghost in my head,
You’re the love I can’t kill, though my trust lies dead.
[Verse 4]
I see you in town, hand in hand with him,
A whiskey bottle won't drown where I've been.
The ashes of my dog, the ashes of us,
Love and loyalty turned to dust.
[Chorus]
My dog was my angel, taken too soon,
Set on fire under the light of the moon.
And Myra, you're a scar that won't fade away,
I can't stop loving you, though you betrayed.
