Off the Hook

I heard you're leaving home
Tied up your loose ends and called all your friends
Well I'm sitting by the phone
I'm still sitting by the phone
I heard you hit the road
Check back when you can, I've got it til then
Let me know when you're coming home
Not so sure when you're coming home

But you never promised that you would be honest
You played by the rules
Never got in too deep your trap door at your feet
You went by the book
I guess you're off the hook

Imagine my surprise
When I heard the news you'd found a new muse
My boat capsized
And what can I say
Back in that old scene we shared hopes and dreams
And that's not to throw away
But I thought that went without saying

But you never promised that you would be honest
You played by the rules
Never got in too deep your trap door at your feet
You went by the book
I guess you're off the hook

Yeah you never promised
That you would be honest
And I never asked you
To stay strong or hold on, you just used to

I'm sure you assumed I'd be fine
That I had no need for your decency but I've got my fragile side
I thought you knew about my fragile side

But you never promised that you would be honest
You played by the rules
Never got in too deep your trap door at your feet
You went by the book
I guess you're off the hook
