Tectonic Fusion – Chess lyrics

I grab the bishop out from the toddler's mouth
Her gums are bleeding but it's just fine
I got a pawn in my hand, I'm ready to trade
Oh honey that's what I fear

Oh I stare intently without intent
And I know how erroness I am
Oh I see him running but it ain't to me
Oh honey that's what I fear

If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why can't I stop thinking of him?
Oh absence makes the heart grow fonder
How cliche can you get?

Oh I know I'm foolish to consider the thought
And I know I'll wind up in pain
All my insecurities have been confirmed
Oh honey that's what I fear

And I try
And I cry
And I lie
And I die

If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why can't I stop thinking of him?
Oh absence makes the heart grow fonder
How cliche can you get?

Oh look at them flock, I'm nothing to them
Yet I still grin when he looks my way
Am I infatuated or disillusioned?
Oh honey that's what I fear
Oh honey that's what I fear
Oh darling don't change my mind
Oh darling just ease my mind

If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why can't I stop thinking of him?
Oh absence makes the heart grow fonder
How cliche can you get?

How cliche can you get?
Drop in the bucket
Chip off the ol' block
Hole in the wall
I'll eat my hat
Men seldom make passes
At girls who wear glasses
Watch pot never boils
And I love you
How cliche can you get?

If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why can't I stop thinking of him?
