Cheekbone Lyrics - Singles - Glasshouse

You won't know when they're gone 

You merely lust at the thought 

Of the perfect moment to use 

Oh, you're perfect the part 

That is, breaking their hearts 

You've broken their hearts again 

And there will be a last time 

How many more chances do you think you have? 

But my hands are red too, 

Red from all the regret shed 

By my lack of heart to rebuke 

You will be shocked when you lose it all, 

But you've wasted your time 

Proving your words and your anger infallible 

The clock is ticking 

You show no love 

Your mistakes can't be healed 

By this mistrust 

But it's what you say you want 

Your compassion hits 

When our knees hit the ground 

But you are not a god 

And you don't seem to know you're not 

No, you're not 

You show no love 

Where is your passion? 

It's dead and hollow. 

And none of this pain will be healed 

By your sick sense of liar's remorse 

Where is your passion? 

It's dead and hollow 

Dead and hollow 

There is good in you 

And though there may be days 

When I can't bring it out in you 

It's no excuse, 

No excuse for a man to abuse 

You show no love 

Your mistakes can't be healed 

By this mistrust 

But it's what you say you want 

Your compassion hits 

When our knees hit the ground, 

But you are not a god 

And you don't seem to know you're not 

No, you're not 

Is it really worth the risk 

Of every good thing you ever had? 

Walking away to prove you are not a god 

You are not a god at all 

Oh, you're just a fraud, 

Just a fraud with a license to lie, 

License to lie 

You show no love 

Your mistakes can't be healed 

By this mistrust 

But it's what you say you want 

Your compassion hits 

When our knees hit the ground, 

But you are not a god 

And you don't seem to know you're not 

No, you're not
