Bounced Check…

No

I can’t

We won’t

We don’t accept your checks here

You’ve come in here before

With that checkbook filled with promises and pleasures

And it caused us peril and pain

Tried to cash that check and the banker straight up laughed

Didn’t even have enough money to catch a cab in that sad account

I’m so hurt at what I found out

The check from this relationship bounced

And it’s all your fault

Promising things you couldn’t deliver

Remember Jerome from Martin?  You were the “chicken dinner”

he was crackin’ on…

Keep telling me to trust you with that same old song

And me with this relationship check that bounced

lookin all stupid and wrong

But guess what?

It’s my fault too

Tryin’ to pay my personal bills with checks from your account

When it’s really Jesus Christ that bailed me out

Lost sight of Him in my darkness

Thought He was too far away so I reached for you

All because you showed me that stupid checkbook

Said you could fulfill the roll of brother, father, leader, mentor, friend

you signed on the memo line, you put down your pen

The check bounced

But i broke
