Locked Out- country

I gave up waitin'
on the phone to ring
cause I knew too well
what the night would bring

He'll be gettin' home late
like so many nights before
can't wait to see his face when
his key doesn't open the door

chorus
For now
he's locked out of the house
and out of my heart
maybe he'll find his faults
somewhere alone in the dark

I'm not sayin' were through
I live off faith in the LORD
I'm pretty quick to forgive
and yet quick to even the score

verse
Those 3 AM headlights
bring the shadows to life
he's about to lose a few notches
from his belt of pride

Now he's scratchin' his head
while strugglin' with the key
as I laugh from inside
I think it's so good to be me

repeat chorus

bridge
We all make selfish mistakes
and this ain't his first nor his last
but true love holds no records
so we leave the past in the past
However.......

repeat chorus
