off the hook
barenaked ladies
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
you thought that he was wanting you
but he was only wanting you to
he was your imaginary friend
you were partners til the end
accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies
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
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
something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
cause you won't be around and
from now on the phone stays off the hook
