The Damage You Do

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?)
