Justified Black Eye

She was confused and abused in this life

Emotional and violent moments seemed to take the longest time

Every single knockout drag out 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 and 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 pack's her bags in great temptation

He's on his knees again he cries

A hug and a kiss and I don't know why, as a tear drops from her swollen eye

Apologies until tonight and another justified black eye
