She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments
Seemed to take the longest time

Every single knockout dragout
Fight they ever had. Apologies and
Dignity denied he starts to

Laugh he starts to lie with
Suddenly psychotic eyes.
Every night she cried herself

to sleep she didn't recognize
Her own face in the mirror
Black & blue, so afraid

Intimidation like a child she
Hides away he would always
Try to justify what wasn't true

Justified black eye
Taken for granted she sleeps by
The phone waiting for a call

From him but it seems he's never
Coming home, 14 beers 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 black eye

With another lie. She packs her
bags in great temptation he's on
His knees again he cries a hug

& a kiss and a don't know why as
a tear drops from her swollen eye
Apologies until tonight and another

Justified black eye
