Checking Out

She's like a ghost to me

Drifting slowly

Never wanting to stay

Anticipation growing

Blacked out with X's for eyes

They won't lead you to answers

Abandoned one too many times

So she will not be taking chances

And still she rue the day

She took him in her desperate way

The stories of her past betrayals

The list of names in hush toned tales

She should have offered up his name

To place beside the ones she's blamed

Because he'll live there anyway

No matter how this hand is played

You must be checking out on someone's love

Because you never wanna come back down

There's nothing wrong with your lipstick

But there's nowhere to hide tonight

She's like the devil to me

Through she claims she found Jesus

Her religion is killing me

License to do as she pleases

Never mind consequence

That's a folly of weakness

It is written she says

And she really believes this

We don't see eye to eye

But we'll level the playing field tonight

With no more hope and no more hype

And no more murder, no more lies

You must be checking out on someone's love

'Cause you never wanna come back down

It's just another diversion

But there's nowhere to hide tonight

You must be checking out on someone's love

'Cause you never wanna come back down

I know you want a reaction

But there's nowhere to hide tonight

You must be checking out on someone's love

Because you never wanna come back down

You must be checking out on someone's love

Because you never wanna come back down

You must be checking out on someone's love

'Cause you never wanna come back down

And we'll just take it for granted

But there's nowhere to hide tonight

You must be checking out on someone's love

'Cause you never wanna come back down

With all the evidence planted

But there's nowhere to hide tonight
