Off the Hook

Lyrics

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 and line, every time
 The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets
 Souvenirs of men who cheat
 It all makes sense - with each offence
 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 hear 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
