I Was the Wolf
TitanChord
Intro
I was the wolf you let in the kitchen
Verse 1
You set a place for me at the table
You named me after the family dog
You patted my head, you taught me prayers
You walked me down the hallway fog
Pre-Chorus
You said I had the kindest eyes
You said I had the softest paws
You said I would never hurt the children
You should have read the laws
Chorus
I was the wolf, I was the wolf
You fed me twice and you named me good
I was the wolf you let in the kitchen
I was the wolf you fed and stood
Verse 2
The children learned to read the warning
The wife learned to keep the floor
The mother learned to leave the latch off
The wolf grew old behind the door
Pre-Chorus
You said I had the kindest eyes
You said I had the softest paws
You said I would never hurt the children
You should have read the laws
Chorus
I was the wolf, I was the wolf
You fed me twice and you named me good
I was the wolf you let in the kitchen
I was the wolf you fed and stood
Bridge
You opened the door to your house tonight
You opened the door to a thing with teeth
You opened the door to the thing that ate you
And the thing that ate your name beneath
I was the wolf, I was the wolf
You fed me twice and you named me good
I was the wolf you let in the kitchen
I was the wolf you fed and stood
