Justified Black Eye

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

He starts to laugh, he starts to lie

Suddenly, psychotic eyes

Every night she cried herself to sleep, she didn't recognize

Her own face in the mirror, black and blue

So afraid, intimidation, like a child she hides away

He'd 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

Fourteen 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 and a kiss and a don't know why as a tear drops from her swollen eye

Apologies until tonight and then another

Justified black eye
