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
|
|
