Dog Filter

Let me flip the script from the stereotypical.

Let's go turn the tables, get away from the typical.

You say men are dogs, a pit bull at best.

A Rottweiler at the heart, which is frozen in chest.

But you girls, you women, you've hurt men too

Turn your feelings off after all this we went through

Love was exchanged, souls intermingled,

Too much shared just to break back into singles.

You cry, I cry, but in the long run I'm crushed

Never knew putting back a heart could be so tough.

Ripped us up to pieces, but gathered your tatters

And left mine to dry, my mind state shattered.

But I'm the dog right? I'm the relationship killer?

But who's the one on snap, with a puppy ear filter?

Guess times have changed, you're the only one

Whose heart is ice cold, with no sensitivity to love.
