Off The Hook

All around the room your

things are placed

And next to you he fills the space

And so it seems your saving grace

Is only saving face

The pictures of the two

of you on holiday

on honeymoon

You thought that he was wanting you

But he was only wanting you

To let him off the hook

He was your imaginary friend

You were partners till the end

Then something bends

and then it breaks

Your worst mistake

Accepting enemies on bended knees

A litany of tragedies

You're vexed it seems you're hexed

And after sex he expects

You'll let him off the hook

Till something that you heard

While you were sleeping left you

Shaken while he stirred

When you awaken you will

Make him eat his words right off the

Hook and line every time

The credit card receipts

the dirty sheets

The souvenirs of men who cheat

It all makes sense with each offense

You wanted to believe him

He could get away with murder one

And you would clean the smoking gun

With every crime you bought each line

But not this time you'll make him

Eat his words 'cause

Something that you heard

While you were sleeping left you

Shaken while he stirred

When you awaken you will

Make him eat his make him eat his

Words while he's alone

'Cause you won't be around and

From now on the phone stays off the

Hook and line every time

Hook and line every time
