She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments that seemed to take the longest time
Every single night, not try to find the other half, apologies and dignity denied
He starts to laugh, he starts to lie with suddenly psychotic eyes
Every night, she cried herself to sleep
He didn't recognize her old face in the mirror of black and blue
So afraid, intimidation, like a child, she hides away
She would always try to justify, but was it true?
Justified black eye
Taken for granted, she sleeps by the phone
Waiting for a call from him, but it seems he's never comin' home
14 years later, he is there without an answer
Once again, she questions his lies, he goes to bed with no reply
Tomorrow morning, different story, and he'll be a different guy
He'll justify her blackout with another lie
She packs her bags and brings temptation
He's on his knees again, he cries
I hug, and I kiss, and I don't know why
As the tears drop from her swollen eyes
Apologies are too tight, and then
Another justified black eye
Justified black eye
