Cobbler - No White Knight (feat. Helen Cannon)

It wasn't easy staying sanguine
Particularly when you looked around for someone to blame
I can't deny that I was angry
At something that you said was just a part of the game
Justification's not an option
And now I've got to tell you that you've had your time
You say it's just overreaction
And here come your pre-described alibis
We redefine a minus sign
But you don't get to touch
And you don't get to judge
And you don't get to love me, no, no
You're worldly wise
Full of lies
And you don't get to see
And you don't get to need
And you don't get to leave me, no, no
You justify
But I'm no white knight
I even offered you a life raft
You pushed it out to sea
And you set it on fire
You threw yourself right down the mineshaft
Allowed yourself to revel in the heat of denial
And now you say this doesn't make sense
It's blue on blue and you're caught in crossfire
Now you're alone just with your conscience
Just you and your saturnine cheap red wine
We redefine a minus sign
But you don't get to touch
And you don't get to judge
And you don't get to love me, no, no
You're worldly wise
Full of lies
And you don't get to see
And you don't get to need
And you don't get to leave me, no, no
You justify
But I'm no white knight
Said you had a dream of us
Dirty words from dirty books
Dirty deeds are covered up
Told me I was beautiful
(Told her she was beautiful)
What makes you think I give a fuck
(And now I've got to tell you that you've had your time)
What makes you think I give a fuck
And here come your pre-described alibis
We redefine a minus sign
But you don't get to touch
And you don't get to judge
And you don't get to love me, no, no
You're worldly wise
Full of lies
And you don't get to see
And you don't get to need
And you don't get to leave me, no, no
You justify
But I'm no white knight
