Old Dog

How do I know, if I could ever trust you?
Even if I know, I never really knew you

You're such a real ghost, hanging in the distance
A face with an unrealistic name,
But perhaps just too real to me

Not afraid of you the most, hope you work on persistence
A life beyond your drive
But perhaps just personality

You don't know me
Though you've heard about me, I bet
You don't know me
Though you've learned about me, unless

You weren't really paying attention
To your home, what was really going on
In front of your eyes

Have you worked it out?
(She doesn't deserve it)
Don't try to crawl out
(She doesn't deserve it)

Just tilt your head down
And figure this out

I feel like this could have a bunch of different meanings. Which makes it confusing. But I like the contradiction in it, and there is a heavy sense of loss.
