Checking Out

She's like a ghost to me
Drifting slowly
Never wanting to stay
Anticipation growing

Blacked out with access 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
'Cause 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
Though she claim 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
There's nowhere to hide tonight
