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 til 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 til

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

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

Hook and line, everytime

Hook and line, everytime
