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
