The Damage You Do - Mesh

You’ve got it good

You’re cruel to everyone

You get their feelings

And you shake them 'til you’re all alone

You had the time

You had the motive now

Pretend it hurts and they run to you from miles around

Dressed to kill

By the hands that never will

Looks appeal

To what the feelings don’t reveal

And I can’t penetrate the lies

But the damage you do

Is written across your eyes

So don’t say you love me

And I can’t delegate the blame

But it all comes out sounding just the same

So don’t try to touch me

You turn them on

You switch it off again

A stream of lovers hanging rotting at your door again

You pull the strings

You’ve had them dance for you

You build them up

'til they think they’ve got a bone to chew

You steal to live

From the hands that never give

Look within

Through the doors that don’t cave in

And I can’t penetrate the lies

But the damage you do

Is written across your eyes

So don’t say you love me

And I can’t delegate the blame

But it all comes out sounding just the same

So don’t try to touch me

(The words you said just broke in two)

And I can’t penetrate the lies

But the damage you do

Is written across your eyes

So don’t say you love me

And I can’t delegate the blame

But it all comes out sounding just the same

So don’t try to touch me

(Is it somehow rewarding, or some kind of warning?)
