[Verse]
He says he's working late
Punching that clock
But he's got a devil's grin as he walks the block
Phone on silent
His lies in a loop
While she’s home cooking
Stirring the truth
[Prechorus]
She waits
Loyal as the moon
He slips
Dancing out of tune
[Chorus]
Sneaky steps in the dark
He’s a ghost in the night
She’s a flame
Burning strong
Holding on to the light
He’s out playing games
She’s got love in her veins
But he’ll drown in his guilt
While she soaks up the pain
[Verse 2]
He trades her trust for a taste of thrill
Cheap motels
His conscience still
She’s folding his shirts
Humming their song
While he’s out there proving her wrong
[Prechorus]
She waits
Like a rock in the tide
He slips
On the edge of his pride
[Chorus]
Sneaky steps in the dark
He’s a ghost in the night
She’s a flame
Burning strong
Holding on to the light
He’s out playing games
She’s got love in her veins
But he’ll drown in his guilt
While she soaks up the pain
