Under Her Pillow
TitanChord
He came home drunk on a Friday
Smellin' like her again
Left his boots by the bedroom
Thought she wouldn't let him in
But she smiled like she always smiled
Poured him one more on the rocks
And while he passed out on the mattress
She checked the safety on the box
Under her pillow
There's a .38 snub
Under her pillow
Where a lesser girl keeps love
He don't know what she knows
He don't know what he done
Under her pillow
Six rounds in the gun
He's been lyin' since the wedding
Since the Reno bachelor trip
Since the '09 and '14 and '21
And the waitress with the lip
She kept receipts, she kept the texts
She kept a folder full of names
And under that pink pillow
Is the end of all his games
She ain't crazy, she ain't hurtin'
She ain't gonna raise a voice
She just finally got tired
Of a man who made the choice
She ain't sleepin', she's just waitin'
For him to snore out one more lie
Then she'll whisper "I forgive you"
And she'll watch him close his eyes
Under her pillow
The cold steel kiss
Under her pillow
Tonight or none like this
A quiet kind of patience
A reckoning come due
Under her pillow
Is the promise he made true
Under her pillow
Is the promise he made true
Under Her Pillow

Lyrics
He came home drunk on a Friday Smellin' like her again Left his boots by the bedroom Thought she wouldn't let him in But she smiled like she always smiled Poured him one more on the rocks And while he passed out on the mattress She checked the safety on the box
Under her pillow There's a .38 snub Under her pillow Where a lesser girl keeps love He don't know what she knows He don't know what he done Under her pillow Six rounds in the gun
He's been lyin' since the wedding Since the Reno bachelor trip Since the '09 and '14 and '21 And the waitress with the lip She kept receipts, she kept the texts She kept a folder full of names And under that pink pillow Is the end of all his games
She ain't crazy, she ain't hurtin' She ain't gonna raise a voice She just finally got tired Of a man who made the choice She ain't sleepin', she's just waitin' For him to snore out one more lie Then she'll whisper "I forgive you" And she'll watch him close his eyes
Under her pillow The cold steel kiss Under her pillow Tonight or none like this A quiet kind of patience A reckoning come due Under her pillow Is the promise he made true Under her pillow Is the promise he made true
