(Verse 1)
You walked in like you owned the room,
Every stranger turned into a friend too soon.
Tail wagging like you knew their soul,
You read hearts better than most I know.
Slow kisses, like you felt my pain,
Told me who was real, who was fake.
You weren’t just here, you were home,
And now the house feels overgrown with ghosts.
(Pre-Chorus)
Your leash still hangs by the door,
I swear I hear your steps on the floor.
I reach for you without a thought,
Then remember what I’ve lost.
(Chorus)
You were my son, my best damn friend,
My laughter when I was at my end.
High fives, play dead, you’d dance for me,
Now I’d trade it all for one more memory.
Life don’t hit the same without you here,
Just empty rooms and unshed tears.
You’re always loved, you’re always mine,
I just don’t know how to say goodbye.
(Verse 2)
You loved to meet the whole damn world,
Made everyone feel chosen, special, heard.
You cuddled close like you understood,
Every bad day, you made it good.
I see you in your favorite spots,
The couch, the floor, the sunlit dots.
It still don’t feel like you’re gone,
My heart keeps waiting for you to run along.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m angry, numb, I’m breaking down,
I’d give anything to hear that sound—
Your paws hitting the kitchen tile,
Just one more time, just one more while.
(Chorus)
You were my son, my safe place too,
My calm, my chaos, my truth.
You taught me love without a word,
Now silence is the loudest hurt.
The world kept moving, mine stood still,
Left with a void nothing can fill.
You’re always loved, you’re always near,
Even when you’re not right here.
(Bridge)
I’m sad, I’m lost, I’m in denial,
Still looking for you every mile.
Depressed, confused, don’t feel complete,
Like part of me forgot how to breathe.
If love alone could make you stay,
You’d never have gone away.
((Outro / Final Chorus (Soft)))
You changed every life you touched,
Left paw prints deeper than enough.
I’ll carry you in everything I do,
Every laugh still leads to you.
One day I’ll smile without the ache,
But for now, I’ll let my heart break.
You were everything, you were my boy…
And loving you was the greatest joy.
