[Verse] The porch light’s flickering, the night is cooling down Old boots by the doorway, silent in this town You packed your memories in a worn-out bag While the dog keeps watch, no barking, just a sad lag [Pre-Chorus] But every shadow here has tales we used to know And every step you take makes it harder to let go [Chorus] There’s a dog guardin’ the porch where the heart used to stay Watchin’ over broken pieces while you walk away He don’t beg or call, just lays low with the pain A faithful friend in silence, through the loss and rain [Verse] The morning breaks slow, coffee’s cold on the sill Your smile’s somewhere else, but the dog’s standing still Like he’s holding the space where your laughter used to be A quiet kind of love that’s aching silently [Pre-Chorus] We’re both holding on to the ghost of what was true But sometimes love just fades into a shade of blue [Chorus] There’s a dog guardin’ the porch where the heart used to stay Watchin’ over broken pieces while you walk away He don’t beg or call, just lays low with the pain A faithful friend in silence, through the loss and rain [Bridge] And I hear you in whispers caught up in the breeze But some goodbyes are softer than the falling leaves He waits for no answers, just stays by the door A shadow of loyalty when love is no more [Chorus] There’s a dog guardin’ the porch where the heart used to stay Watchin’ over broken pieces while you walk away He don’t beg or call, just lays low with the pain A faithful friend in silence, through the loss and rain [Outro] He’s just guardin’ the porch Guardin’ the door... A quiet kind of love That can’t hurt no more
