He came home with lipstick lies and liquor on his lips
Bringing home that kind of sin can sink relationships
He's gonna learn his lesson, he's gonna learn it well
Now I'm one step closer to hell
I poured him another drink, two can play this game
It's like I handed him a shovel to let him dig a deeper grave
In my mind I'm coming up with stories I could tell
Now I'm two steps closer to hell
Whiskey causes anger and anger made a fist
His fist flew off the handle I thought I could handle it
Makeup covers bruises, bruises heal with time
This time he's the victim and I commit the crime - ooh
I helped him stumble to the couch and offered him a light
It's the least that I could do since this would be our final fight
I told him those cigarettes would be bad for his health
Now I'm three steps closer to hell
Whiskey causes anger and anger made a fist
His fist flew off the handle I thought I could handle it
Makeup covers bruises, bruises heal with time
This time he's the victim and I commit the crime - ooh
Our trailer made the front page of the Jefferson gazette
Police investigation ruled the fire an accident
We both know who's guilty, but only one of us can tell
Now I'm 4 steps closer ---
His Marlboro turned to smoke and smoke turned into flames
Flames consumed my problems and my problems went away
Make up covers bruises, and bruises heal with time
This time he's the victim, and I commit the crime
I might not get to heaven, heaven knows that I'll sleep well
Guess I'm one step closer, I'll see his ass in hell
