The Format, Dog Problems
Don't you dare speak for someone you don't know
They'll feel it in the back of their throat
We know I can't construct a poem
'Cause words like [boys] get bored and run
C'est la vie
I say "I've got so many better things" ...I've got nothing.
You should see me: I smoke myself to sleep.

And so I walk the web in search of love
But always seem to end up stuck
I'm finding flaws in everyone.
I've reached the point where all I want
Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up
We are parallel lines, we're running in circles
We're never meant to cross

I'm at a loss.
You were my tangerine, my pussycat, my trampoline
Now all's I get are wincing cheeks and dog problems
I signed a lease
Thinking my heart belonged at 93rd and Park.



Can you hear me? Are you listening?
This is the sound of my heart breaking.
And I hope it's entertaining
'Cause for me, it's a bitch.


Was it worth it when you slept with [her]?
Did you get it all out of your system?

I never finish phrases I misspell
An open arm's a prison cell
When I said "I hate what I've become"
I lied -- I hated who I was.
So when you start to wonder about the pain in my throat
The don't you ever, no never ever
Speak for someone
You
Don't
Know

- The Format, "Dog Problems", from the album Dog Problems
